Ok. Really? I just need to get this out of my head and putting it on "paper" seems to help.
I have been battling back pain for a couple years. I may have written about it. In my last ditch effort, before I just give up, I went to a PT who is a Postural Restoration practitioner.
Sounds like the ticket, doesn't it?
Not so much. Strange, subtle exercises designed to wake up my left hamstring the outside right hip. On and on. Practiced these exercises everyday for about 7 weeks with no discernible difference.
I asked her and she says I may expect results in 3 months. THREE MONTHS? Please. Then she added more triceps exercises.
The concept seems to be that I am floppy and too loose. "Hanging by my ligments" and not using my muscles to support myself actively. How in the hell can I change this? I am standing wrong....sitting wrong....everything.
Today, I give up. I am going to forge my own path. I am going to start my own strengthening program and with any luck will be soon be able to be back on track.
Three different massage therapists.
Three different physical therapists.
Three different chiropractors.
FOUR different pain relievers....vitamin I (ibuprofen), naproxen, aspirin, Tylenol.
This is up to me from here on out! AND the Thermotex infrared heating pad twice a day.
I've got this!
