Hey folks,

I'm doing some physical therapy in hopes that with using some muscles I might be in less pain -- and maybe my metabolism will start up again! However it leaves me QUITE exhausted and I'm just not able to keep up with the forum right now.

Most of you know the forum rules, plus here is a shortcut to them, they are also at the top of the page. Included is a list of things we SHOULD do!

Please feel free to email me or one of the other moderators if something seems out-of-wack, other wise you are all "on your honor" to play nicely! :-)

Here's where to get the email addresses of the Lupus Moderators if you need help: AlwaysRosie, Lynnwood, Ginny

Thanks for your patience,

Lynnwood, I hope the physical therapy helps with your pain. Consider yourself taking a moderator's break to try out something that might help all of us. Good luck with it. Pat

I went to rehab for a month after my stroke,then a month of home p.t..Supposed to do exercises daily.But alot of times just to exhausted.I try to do just at least range of motion daily.We all do what we can,listen to your body,it will tell you what you can handle,sometimes it's just laying in bed and pampering youself,in the long rung you will benefit greatly from that too. Feel better. God Bless, Namaste Raven1954

This is a strange deal -- my hip is much stronger than it was when I started PT, at the beginging there was not a chance I could stand on that foot & balance. The muscles are stronger now, but I still have a stabbing pain at unpredictable times...it also moves around.

I do think the PT is helping me overall to get moving rather than being afraid of pain, and is also a good way to get out of the house and see the world!

The latest is that an Xray doesn't show anything & the rheumy has put me on prescription Vit D. I have regained some energy, but am still tired (aren't we always) and still have to do some pain meds from time to time for my hip.

Thanks for asking,

Lynnwood,
Had similar problems and eventually physical therapy, though helping my back alot, made the hip worse. It ended up being pinched nerves at the nerve root. I had two injections in the nerve root and other than the fact that the pain meds didn't go through the iv right, the actual injections lasted 4 months. I still do not have the constant pain back that I had before, but am returning in Dec for the same two injections. I felt like a new person. And even though they say all the solumedrol goes in the nerve, I got a good steroid treatment out of the deal, helped the AI as well for about a month.

It might be something to consider if you have a place you trust, make SURE they knock you all the way out when they do it!
