Shoulder update first pt visit

[joenali]

She was great! Spent an hour with me. I'm to do nothing that gives me pain, sooooo no bike, no running ( the shoulder bone is rubbing my tendons too badly for even running), no swimming, and no yoga. BUT I can water jog!! Woot!

I have 5 more visits and then I go back to the doctor. I also cried in the pt's office. This sucks!

Sounds like a great pt! Yay for water jogging!!

Glad you are on your way to recovery!!

Just go out there and be the best water jogger you can be.

Are your visits weekly?

I'm glad that it went well!

I'm glad it went well! Hopefully you are back to everything else shortly.

I loved it when they told me to avoid repetitive household chores, as well as certain exercises...I got a whole month of DH and the kids unloading the dishwasher and helping with the laundry! Almost enough to make me wish PT hadn't been so damn effective. :-) Good luck!

Glad it went well!

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your OP correctly, but this sounds like a bummer I'm so sorry. I hope that water jogging can satisfy you enough, but I know it is so hard to not be able to do any of the things you love. Are the 5 visits weekly? At least that is a relatively short amount of time in the grand scheme of how long this has been bothering you.

I'm bummed for you Ali It will heal and get better, but I know that isn't much comfort when you are in the middle of the frustration.

kams. The physical therapist was great. The not being able to do anything but water jogging, not great. But she was adamant that it is only temporary. So who knows. And the visits are once a week. Reevaluate with her and the orthopedist. Surgery is still a potential.

Would it be super creepy of me to ask you for your address? i want to send you a few ironman related things! For the record I participated in the fitness box w/out any issues! Lol!

Though I'm sure the restrictions aren't what you were looking for, it sounds promising. Hope you get some very good results at the end of the sessions.

Ok, that's very good. It sounds like you're in a good place with it.

And seriously?? That's so nice of you!  (hug) (heart) (hug2). PMing you right now.
