Glad to hear your doing okay but sorry about your power! I too had no appetite and still don't have much of one. I have the numbness as well so it sounds like all is normal for you.
I will never understand why they use this tactic. If allowed, it just causes pain and extra swelling which limits ROM. Of course, they make you think that that's a good reason to keep going back and thus making money for them.At my second home health visit, the therapist told me I needed to be at ROM 115 for my first follow-up visit with the surgeon one week later (2 weeks after surgery!). She threatened me with an MUA (manipulation under anesthesia) if I didn’t hit that number.
You should have asked him who's paying him! You are, through your insurance, that makes you the boss! I would never go back to a doctor than treated me that way!but the surgeon would hear nothing of it. I wasn’t able to stand up to her and left in tears.
