I've been doing PT twice a day and only missed one session on the 4th of July. My low back is beginning to show signs of recovery. It's really only sore now, not painful. I can walk from 3-5 miles without pain. My neck still continues to be the main source of my pain. I am at a pain level 6-7 all day particularly on the right side where there is a herniation.
My physical therapist has discharged me. He is a compassionate man who was obviously sad that my neck pain is still so severe. He recommends continuing my therapy at home but feels further medical attention could be necessary. It feels a bit like deja vu on my low back but I'm hoping not to go down that road.
My left leg and foot did get numb and tingling during my walk today but subsided by the end. My ankle has been bothering me but that does not seem related to this more like an overuse feeling. These types of feelings cause a cycle of anxiety in my mind about what problems might be coming.
Despite the severe neck pain, I'm feeling overall positive that this will somehow work itself out. I am thankful that I am here, trying to enjoy as much as I can. Although, I do have pretty severe anxiety I recognize it and am hopeful that its temporary. A great friend of mine is moving away this week which I know is contributing to my uneasy feelings.
My mom has Mandi up north and they seem to be having fun. Even being down one child really helps me.
I appreciate the continued support and prayers. I still need it.
