My doctor ordered me to receive physical therapy. I expected to go to the therapist’s and get personal attention. Instead, the office was full of patients receiving treatment. He gave me some exercises to do, then ran off to attend other clients and left me alone. How many patients do they schedule at a time? There was like 10 people there and one therapist. Not only that, there was no receptionist so he also had to answer the phone and do scheduling while trying to do PT. What if I had a problem and needed his attention?

Been with my husband for 4 years.Gotten very physical and I’ve had a broken cheekbone when his foot met my face.Both of us in and out of jail, mainly me.( His buddies always have his back.) That was due to our heavy drinking through the years. We are now both sober, me 6mnths, him 5mnths and he’s currently in rehab. After all the other attempts to make this work, do you think being sober will make the difference???
Hi,as I sit here crying I’m begging someone who knows how to deal with chronic lower back pain,to please give me some ideas.I’ve had this for 13 years and it’s every single day.I wake up every morning praying not to feel it,that is if I’m lucky enough to drift off to sleep even for a short while.I like to be on the go and this stops me dead in my tracks.A pain that I’m tired of.A burning constant pain, pain.I have degenerative disk disease and bulging disks on L4 and L5.I’m 32 and Monday is my birthday.This all stems from a epidural during my second child’s birth performed by a practicing Dr.(about 13 years ago,Nyack Hospital Rockland County N.Y.)One of the biggest law suites I missed out on.(major family problems at the time) I’m on powerful pain medicine but it doesn’t seem to take much of the pain away.And if I miss a dose I get irritable,tired,hot/cold flashes and a freezing nose.
I’ve tried everything. I feel like I’m at my wits end.Like I’m going to crack.People don’t understand emotionally how hard it is to be in pain every minute of everyday.I’ve had electric stimulation,massage therapy, adjustments,ice/heat physical therapy, a machine that was heavy as hell that vibrated and shocked my back all at once.Stretching, exercise.Next Thursday I’m suppose to go for spine decompression.DRX6000? Some new machine that’s suppose to help.
Anyways anyone with any advice whats so ever I would greatly appreciate.Sorry to have broken down yet I can not be alone in this unforgiving situation.Take care to you all.

stions. I know i hate it when im in pain and when people are in pain and if i can do something to help I wanted do do that so today it just hit me. Why no physical therapy? I jus wanted to know all about it?Doctorate or Masters-What wpuld be the difference? How long do you have to go to school? What are the best places to go to school for this? Anyone actually a therapist reading this? How long would i have to work on average? Everything you know. The problem is that ive never seen myself as being in the medical profession, because i dont like blood and thats all my parents and family want everyone to do. I wnat to do something different and i dont want to go my life stressed out when i can help in a different way.
