I think back to what a hard 6 weeks it has been. And then am sad tonight that my PT, whom I have worked with for I guess 3 weeks, jumped on me about my stating I took Percosets a few weeks ago before PT.
One day, he originally had pushed my legs back under the table to get a higher ROM, which I understand. I made a very audible noise and was in very much pain. The next day, I made sure I took my prescribed, only, meds to the max. I had told him after I scored high on my ROM I had done so. He had even asked at previous times if I had taken anything for pain.
And 2 or so weeks pass, which brings us to today. He was working with another patient, I was doing squats. All of a sudden he became somewhat vocal about my not being cooperative, brought up the percosets....I was shocked. I was still doing squats, he was with his patient.
In fact I have been crying for about 5 hours. I wasn't even iced down after. I was passed off to a new PT. Apparently original PT/Manager said I wasn't walking correctly.Well I knew that. I think I have been shown, twice? as to how to correct my gait... I was reminded though often.
I just am able to drive now, and it's funny how this happened now husband is not with me up there. And yesterday, I arrived at the wrong time. My appt. card was correct though. But whomever changed my time didn't inform me I suppose. I have no idea.
There are other places to go for sure. Sadly this is my Dr's place. And I have so much emotion and time built up into getting this far and it makes me pretty sad. I don't have any idea what I did wrong. I'm afraid to go back up there or stand up for myself. Yes I have to take my pain meds in my defense. I have been taken down to hydrocodone(my past Monday appt) which is fine...Dr. and I agree on all drugs being written and lowered. PT declared he didn't want me on anything, so he said today. Well, I can't do that. I know from here, people have to have pain relief.
Sorry to rant on. Just at a loss here. Maybe I can just quit and do it from home. I'm ready for the bike, pool, and treadmill, so that would take me mostly away from their PT. I mainly need more ROM and gait back, which latter wasn't worked on that much.
