I've had physical therapy for a number of years on and off . It definitely helps so stick with it unless you feel your body is not responding. Also physical therapists have different approaches and some may not resignate with you.
I have flared after i have overdone it with physical activity more than once. where the "too much" line is changes regularly, and i usually find it after i've crossed it. then i have to rest, but yes, the pain can be unbearable. i have found some pain releasing and accepting meditations on youtube which have helped me enormously. hugs.
My son is a PT and he always tells me that pain is a guide. If it is really bad don’t do it! I’m so glad he helps me because I don’t think I would be able to function with the level of degenerative disc disease I have in my neck and back.
We deal with a brutal and unpredictable condition where you be fine one minute and in terrible pain the next. I think you would have flared regardless.
Hope you feel better soon.
Physical therapy can sometimes cause initial discomfort, but it should not lead to a severe flare-up. Here are some key points to consider:
- Initial Discomfort: It's normal for joints to ache a bit when you start moving them, but this should improve with continued movement as it helps lubricate the joints
