I start physical therapy for my shoulder tomorrow, too!
I'm going to ask her if I'm doing the PF therapy right also.

Good to read that you are both going to go to therapy.  I do hope it is successful for both of you.

Sending you good vibes.

Funny when I went to PT for the "tendonitis/bursitis" that the DR dx'd the therapist spent about 1/2hr checking out my knees. He told me he didn't believe the Dr's diagnosis and guess what... he was right. The PT people see the same injuries over and over so they are usually a good judge of what your therapy should be. good luck

My PT looked over the exercises the doctor gave me for my PF and said some of it was garbage. He said he was an expert at healing it because he treats it all of the time as an army doctor.
He gave me new exercises to do. We'll see if it feel any better.
He checked out my shoulder and had me do three exercises today. I was so sore when I left.

my orthopedic doctor is nice and so is my physical therapist and podiatrist. my male orthopedic doctor is a "regular guy" and a "pleasure to know". most of them don't know much and could care less.

i definitely had a problem with my ankle but it has calmed down from right after the surgery. had to go to this awful rehab place and they sat down or pushed my foot too much. had to go there because they could accommodate my oxygen problem (i reacted very poorly to pain killer). it was quite a nightmare.

o well, onward we go...

How is your therapy going, Joan? Do you think it is going to help?
