Would I have a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy after 4 years of majoring in PRE-physical therapy, or would I need another 4 years just to get a bachelor’s?

Will Graduating With A Major In Pre-physical Therapy Still Mean My Degree Would Be A Bachelor’s?
Feb 28
For the past three weeks every time I’m reading, writing or focusing on something for more than a few seconds [basically anything that needs a little concentration], my eyes get blurry – but then if I blink a few times or just wait a few seconds my eyes go back to normal. It’s like when you look through a camera that has to be manually adjusted and the picture is out of focus. The longest it’s ever lasted is six seconds. Normally it’s less than three though.
There have been no changes in my diet, no weight loss or gain, no difference in my health since this started. I was in a bad car accident in May – but all surgeries, physical therapies and rehab have already been completed. I am still on pain medications, but only take them rarely.
I’ve had a cat scan and an MRI [since my doctor tends to over test for everything =D Not saying it's a bad thing - just saying]. Nothing has show up. I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this and what it ended up being? Or any suggestions on what it could be – if anything?
Please don’t tell me to see a doctor. I know that Y!A is in no way a substitute for a doctor or actual diagnosis, I’m just trying to get an idea as to what this is or why it’s happening. Also, as I mentioned, I have seen a doctor.
Thanks. =D
I’m 16 years old and been having really bad back pain for about a few months now. I’m in special ed and have never been diagnosed with anything else besides elhers danlos syndrome or something, week muscle tone and just the basic symptoms of that. I have a learning disability, but anyway, about a year ago I saw an orthopedic about my back, they did exrays and it showed a slight curve but nothing huge, they call it kyphosis? or something. Well Starting a few months ago I got extremely bad pain and just hurts doing anything, walking a lot, bending, sitting in one position a long time, standing a long time. It’s torture..well I saw the orthopedic again, the curve has stayed the same not gotten worse, my growth plates they say are closed pretty much. If I were to grow more the curve could change but I’m not. They don’t wanna suggest surgery yet. They think trying everything else first is best. So Ive just recently started Physical therapy. My prob is my posture, I’ve sat so long curved over that my back is so tight and their having trouble loosing it… That’s why I’m getting this pain. I’ll constantly text my mom from school hurting, or end up in tears from pain. But they didn’t recommend pain med, that wont work, If something was inflamed then maybe that would work. But My mom gave me med, she’s a nurse, but that still didn’t help. The physical therapist is working with me and giving me these types of exercises to work on. 2 to 3 times per day. Hopefully it will help. But this pain is sucky.. They also suggested that I could possibly need a customized chair. What hurts miserably is when I’m in school. Each class 90 minutes, you sit. The chairs are horrible. Instead of focusing on work I’m thinking about how much I’m hurting. I wear this lumbar support brace at the moment, but it’s not helping much. It sorta Velcro’s around, not too great. But I was wondering what they mean by a customized chair.. to use at home and school…like wheel in it? or .. push.. don’t know if it’s portable… not sure what they meant by it. Not a wheelchair.. so I’m wondering what a customized chair is.. anyone know? and if pt doesn’t help withen 6 weeks or such we’ll get an Mri done and make sure there’s nothing more causing this pain. Surgery could be an option in the long run, but they wanna try everything before suggesting that.It would be great to hear some feedback on this. I’m having trouble with pain and it’s really bugging me. Thanks
I’m 26 and I just found out that I have Osteoarthritis and Scoliosis in my lower back. What exactly does this mean for me? My doctor was kind of vague with me with this diagnosis. I have a LOT of lower back pain and it hurts all the time and I don’t know what to do. My doctor recommended physical therapy, but my work’s health insurance doesn’t cover it. I have tried Aleve, but it doesn’t phase it.
lately my right knee has been hurting. however, sometimes the pain is worse than others; meaning sometimes it only hurts a little bit, but sometimes it’s really bothersome.
i can still walk, run, jump, squat, and perform exercises, but it does hurt/feel uncomfortable. sometimes when i do exercise the pain seems to subside.
more specifically, the pain is in two places. one is “in” my knee, for example, if i squat and stand back up it is painful/uncomfortable under my kneecap.
second, the left side of the knee hurts at times. not so much the joint itself, but the left side of my leg at “knee-level.”
one last thing….sometimes my right hip feels odd. it doesn’t really hurt, but it just feels out of place. could this have something to do with the knee pain? and should i be doing physical therapy-type exercises to strengthen the knee?
i’m sure i should probably see a doctor, but i’m just trying to get some info right now.
thanks, i REALLY appreciate
My feet and legs have been swollen and numb for about two or three months and the pain is not getting better, even with physical therapy. I have tried everything that the doc, recommends, but nothing is working and they don’t seem to have any answers! They’ve done blood tests and an x-ray so far and have found nothing wrong. The pain is getting worse, and I am trying to find out what this could be.
