Stick with it. PT can be amazing, but you have to commit to following their instructions. I spend years of my life at a 5/10 pain level with a herniated disk because I thought doctors would either just prescribe me drugs or see me as a drug seeker. PT care got me to being able to pick up my kids again.

That sounds familiar, had surgery on my back a few years ago which helped immensely but ever since then I've degraded. Walking for more than an hour puts me in pain for the rest of the day, which.... Thankfully I've made work with my life. But even things like cleaning the house requires days long rest.

I'm so happy for you and your kids, I'll keep that in mind when it gets painful. I truly appreciate your response. ♥
