I’ve been having chronic moderate to severe back pain for around 10 months now. After many ER and Doctor visits, I’ve had almost no answers except one Doctor who mentioned it sounded like it may be from the epidural, which my pain didn’t begin until almost a year after having my daughter. They sent me to a pain clinic who then sent me to do physical therapy. The physical therapist noticed I had scoliosis which I wasn’t aware of because all I have ever been told was that I had a slight curvature of the spine. No one has directly told me I had scoliosis. I know they asked me if I had it before I got my epidural and I said no of course…Anyway I guess the pain may have took awhile because of scar tissue building up and maybe messing with some nerves..but my mid to lower spine just aches as well as having some fiery pain directly to the right of my spine in that same area. It’s worse when the weather is gloomy and the only thing that feels good is to bend over and arch my back and let my arms dangle. I’d appreciate any comments or suggestions…

My 6 year old daughter with cerebral palsy, optic nerve hypoplasia, hypotonia, ect. She has physical and occupational therapy one time a week and doesn’t arrive at school that day until noon. (Doctor has ordered “early in the day, early in the week” because of hypotonia and fatigue) We are going as early in the day as we can (8:00am) and have failed to find a rehab center open on Saturday or Sunday. So school hours have become our only option.
This is doctor ordered and is imperative for her health.
Today, at our IEP meeting we were told that she would not receive special education services for that day and all missed work would be sent home. They said this is because her physical and occupational therapies are not educationally related. This is what happened last year in Kindergarten and it took my daughter 2 hours each night to finish her homework to make up the missed work. She became so stressed about school that she sees a psychologist for school related anxiety.
She fatigues very easily and does not have much energy left after a full school day. The director of the county special education department told us that the law stated that they are not required to serve her on that day, nor are they required to have a teacher help her make up the work.
Can anyone cite this law for me?
Like excessive. We’re talking like multiple bottles of southern comfort a day. The parent hasn’t been to work because of this. And in and out of rehab for it?
Like, let’s say that there are arguments going on in the home without physical abuse.
Adult child is being charged to violating probation (more than 1st offense). They just had wrist surgery two weeks ago, removing 3 bones, in a cast, and in physical therapy. Will they allow medical care? How? They were in drug rehab 4 months ago.
My son has bilateral clubfeet. He’s had one surgery and has been in casts/braces since he was 3 days old. I was reading online that people who regularly visit a physical therapist have less pain later in life. At what age should I start taking him to PT? He’s almost 6 months old.
Thanks!
