During pt this week she gave me the most intense massage I've ever experienced. And omg, I've had two great days in a row! I woke up this morning and while still having pain, it's not radiating and I'm not as stiff as I've been. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I think this pt thing is working albeit slowly. I start going twice a week next week. This has been such a long process. But I feel like maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
