I Flunked Out Of P.T.

Yes, the title of this post is correct. I flunked out of physical therapy. They discharged me because I haven't gotten any better and they didn't know what else to do. I give them props for not keeping me there week after week just so they could keep charging my insurance.

As I posted not too long ago, I thought my knees were getting somewhat better but I was skeptical of the treatment because it involved cortisone. Well, I was right. That was just a temporary fix to get me some pain relief but had no lasting effects.

The therapist who was working on me thinks my hip pain may be caused by arthritis. Yippee! Just kidding. I'll need to go get x-rays to confirm that. I'm thinking I'll just start on some Glucosamine and Chondroitin first because I've already had so much radiation from x-rays, I'll be glowing soon. Has anyone else used that and if so, have you had good luck with it?

On a side note, I survived my migraine from hell! It'll be interesting next time I go to see my neurologist and mention my concern regarding my migraines and M.S. correlation. He'll probably say something like the usual "I don't know".

So needless to say, karate is still on the back burner. (sigh)
