Being Hands and Feet

Thursday, June 20, 2024

 I've not written a lot more about this SI Fusion I had 2/22    The pain in the butt (glut muscles) has basically vanished finally.  However, each time I have started PT something starts acting up. Water therapy caused great pain with doing butt kicks and backward walking.  SO they had me stop.  I then attempted to visit the surgeon with no luck.  So went back to the physician I saw in CMH who spent the 2+ hours with me.  He gave me an injection in my hamstring as this where the pain had restarted.  For 2 weeks I could do nothing except take my daily walk, (which I have started taking longer strides and not walking quite as fst   It now takes me 51 minutes to complete a 5K walk.  The injection did great but when I started PT I had pain return to the hamstring and with some of the stretches was causing pain on the right side and I had to have cold laser done on the right side.  This worked. but when I returned to PT 2 days later same thing.  UGH!!!   Cold laser again.  I tried to contact the surgeon again with no luck. ( I am now changing surgeons as I have not had good response from the office people.)  I went today, at the advice of my chiro, to the physician in CMH who said, WHY ARE YOU DOING PT????   I don't think it's necessary this long after surgery.  He prescribed me a med pack and some meds for arthritis .   I'm to see how this works out and just simply send him message over the MyChart page.   I can still walk, and as a matter of fact he advises it.   I know this seems like a small issue compared to some other's ailments and pain but I just would very much like to know what is the cause and what to do or not do.  The pain that has returned reminds me of what happened about 19 months ago when this all started.  I'm getting really down about this all.  I'm at my end.   Thanks for taking the time to read and like I said this is so small compared to some.   JUDY
