physio

[Uglow]

saw Phsio today said that yes I’d overdone at it was delayed muscle soreness. He said he has spoken with a rhumi to understand pmr better. He said to go slowly little steps they is no point in sorting one problem to create another so we have a better understanding now. He’s told me to cut all my exercises in half and if I get to much doms cut again. Baby steps. So only 10 mins in pool only 5 reps and rest next two days. I am pleased with his experience and bedside manner. Onwards and upwards I hope.

Sensible physio ….

[Uglow in reply to DorsetLady]

He seems extremely genuine in try to get me strong and better mobility but understands it’s not straight forward.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Uglow]

That’s good - not only for you but for future PMR patients he may treat.

I'm pleased to hear that's sorted that's sorted out for you and to hear that your physiotherapist has made the effort to learn more about PMR.

Sounds good. Uglow!I’m not feeling good at all. Took 8.5 yesterday.. now going to stay on 9.0 for my holiday. Knees and ankles hot and cold and. throbbing! Huge sweats which I think are from drug gp gave me. What a Life!

[Uglow in reply to Bedwell]

[piglette]

Perhaps your physio may be interested in this forum?

[Bedwell in reply to piglette]

Good idea! Wouldn’t that be lovely! He’d be inundated!!!!

[piglette in reply to Bedwell]

It is nice when they take an interest, some GPs sometimes take an interest too. He could just look at the FAQs??

[Uglow in reply to piglette]

I will ask him on next appointment

[Bedwell]

Where was your physio? Might be near me???

[Bedwell in reply to Bedwell]

[Uglow in reply to Bedwell]

Onwards and upwards is right! My last physio told me she knew all about pmr because 4 of her husbands family members had it. Her word of advice to me: “I don’t want you standing more than 1 hour at a time.” I told her “I can’t stand 10 minutes at a time.” She had no response to that.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Twopies]

Perhaps she didn’t understand it quite as well as she thought 🤔

[123-go in reply to DorsetLady]

😅😅

[Uglow in reply to Twopies]

Oh for goodness sake

[SheffieldJane]

He sounds like a keeper. 🤞

[Grannymiaow]

I am a retired physio. Qualified in1973.

There was nothing at all about PMR in our training, and I only learnt about it when my mother had it.

Hopefully today's physios are a bit more clued up??

(Over the course of my career I picked up a few undiagnosed people with PMR, but was never referred anyone with the condition to treat.)

[Uglow in reply to Grannymiaow]

I have osteoporosis so I’m being tested for that but pmr needs to be understood in treatment so as not to overdo it.

[Francesbarbara in reply to Grannymiaow]

Hello Grannymiaow, I too am a retired physio - qualified in 1962 and support all you say. Looking at two young physios. I know, one is familiar with PMR and is aware of the problems caused by too much exercise, the other is not.(or was not!) We need to keep banging the drum about this to get the message across for the sake of all on this forum.

[Grannymiaow in reply to Francesbarbara]

Hello Francesbarbara, I wonder how many of us retired physios are on here?

A friend with whom I trained, who knows about PMR (she's possibly had her ear bent by me a few times!) has educated her niece who is a practicing physio (NHS).

Apparently there is more taught these days during training, (not difficult!) but still not enough.

[Uglow in reply to Grannymiaow]

Let’s hope be t moves forward

[Grannymiaow]

Absolutely! Good luck.

[Bedwell]

You’ve got a good post going here!!!!!

[Romilly2]

Ha Ha another retired Physiotherapist here ( trained 75 to 78 ) and had never heard of PMR until a few months ago ! All credit to the ones trying to educate themselves more 👍
