If your doctor wont give you a prescription for physical therapy I would suggest finding a doctor that will. It can make all the difference, and the request is very reasonable, more than reasonable - much needed. Good luck!
what physical therapy recommendations? everytime I ask my Dr. about doing some type of therapy he say "Walk" so, I'm walking up to mile and half when I can stand the pain..... I tried to increase it and my husband had to come and get me, my legs when numb.........I know this sounds like a "cop-out" but we have had rain and cold weather this week... and I just can't move my body as well in these types of weather conditions.
Question: can anyone bend over after having a level 3 fusion of L-4,L5,S1 with a cage??? I'm 42 years old and have to ask someone to tie my shoes? I feel like my 2yr old granddaughter.....
Have you followed your Physical Therapy recommendations?
