It's been one week now since I was grueling on my backpain accompanied by severe headache.I had myself xrayed, they call it thoracolumbar xray, where it does show if the spine has an inclination. During my last xray, way back 2008, my spine showed 4 and some point degree of leaning towards the left. The physiatrist explained that usually the pain is impacted on the right shoulder, which was true. But this time, the pain was all over my back, excruciating painful muscle on the right shoulder and upward through my nape up until the head. It was so unbearable that I almost cried dealing with it.
Today, I started the first therapy session. She {the PT} was extremely helpful, very accomodating and always has this smile ready whenever she instructs me on the exercises. Unlike the one who attended my session two years ago, he {it/she} was doing his job just because he has to earn money, the usual worker type. This was a different one. I put on the hospital gown, lay on my face, as she spreads this cold gel on my back.She squeezed some metal roller on my back, to ease up the muscle, and a big towel with warm water, while 4 plaster attached on the painful part , {shoulder blade and lower back}. There was a low volt electricity running on it so that it'll penetrate the inner muscle area. Xy was with me and she helped me count the exercises. It lasted for an hour and a half. and gave her a tip for job well done. I need to follow the exercises before and after going to bed. I kinda feel relaxed. The pain wasnt totally gone but it gave some succor to my tightened muscles. It's a two-week session so I'll be back Wednesday.
