We are running a race for the American Heart Asssociation and need a cool name! Most of us work with brain injured patients.

I had a physical therapy appointment yesterday. At my appointment they did ultrasound, and put Electra pads on my shoulder. Then today my shoulder is hurting me really bad to where my whole arm has throbbing pain. It even hurts to move my arm. Could physical therapy cause more pain than what you started with? Please help.

Going back Nov. 11th, with likelihood of surgery. Therapist said i can still work out, just alter the workouts. So now I’m riding the bike, no more treadmill, trying eliptical. Anyone have any thoughts besides the strength building i do in therapy and at home now?

She held the pressure for about a minute to the point where I was sweating and crying. I told her it was too painful but she kept it up. Is pain like this normal in PT? (And it hurt for days after)
