i'm ready for it! can't wait...<br><br>
nervous and excited to get going...<br><br>
scared about the inevitable pain and soreness but i will deal with it.<br><br>
i have bumps underneath the skin on the knee... i think it's scar tissue and i'm supposed to rub on it to work the "bumps" out... it's so gross... the worst sensation ever... it's like a pebble rubbing against my broken kneecap. yuck!<br><br>
i hear the first appt is short and mostly just assessment.<br>
wish me luck!

Good luck with PT. Just keep a positive attitude and work hard at it...it will all be worth it in the end.

Catrinka...ask them about the graston technique...they're surgical steel tools used by a sports chiro or someone qualified to break up scar tissue.<br><br>
The only reason I'm mentioning it is b/c when I get grastoned (yes-it HURTS) it feels like there is gravel UNDER my skin...kinda like what you are describing. But...it heals you in a jiffy! Bruises. Worth the cost. Actually...my insurance pays.

[catrinka]

nope. didja hear my prognosis from my doc appt 2 weeks ago? i won't be able to walk normally until at least 12 months from date of injury. can you believe that sheet? it's crazy! but i'm very focused and determined and hope to heal faster than that...<br><br>

Cat....<br>
treat PT like a workout....same mental committment...<br>
be aware of the difference between "good" pain and "bad" pain.<br>
Communicate with the PT.<br>
Wear clothes you can get sweaty in.
