Experiences with

Physiotherapy

I didn't get physiotherapy to learn how to walk again because I believed I would naturally regain my mobility in time. So far, that hasn't happened. Although, I walk around the pool or push my partner around in my wheelchair, I've decided to do some physio.

Always been apprehensive about this as heard it’s painful and know lady who needed physiotherapy on her shoulder afterwards. I have PMR to contend with now and whilst the afternoon slot should help, wondered if there is anything I can do make things easier ?

Recently PSP delivered another cruel blow, his posture is slumped to one side and his head has dropped, physiotherapy hasn’t helped and he is unable to raise it.

I was diagnosed in October last year and treatment (cyclophosphamide) was going well. No symptoms. I have finished that course and am now on mycophenolate tablets. I have severe lower back pain and am getting no where trying to get a physio referral. Does anyone think that this may work or do i need

He undergoes physiotherapy twice a week and is taking levodopa. Lately he has been spending a lot of money, every day. Someone with similar experience? How to deal with this situation?

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I wanted to know, are all physios trained in antenatal physiotherapy? Or do you have to specifically have to ask? I can book a number of appointments for tomorrow but don't know whether I should. Many thanks Karla

Physiotherapy hasn’t made a difference, he can raise his head slightly but is unable to maintain this position, so I’m now looking at supportive devices to try to make him more comfortable.

I also did pelvic floor physiotherapy in conjunction, which he mandated, and am much better now.

We need shorter waiting lists, more cardiologists, more and better vascular surgeons, more ophthalmologists, less broken equipment (friends have recently encountered broken MRI equipment and "field-of-vision" equipment, and where I go for amputee physiotherapy has a broken cable gym and treadmill P.S

So, I've had a demanding physical life, mainly in the building trades, I've been diagnosed with arthritis in both shoulders and now my back is giving up, and hip is giving me problems, so after telling the various jobs I've done I told him that I used to do " hod" carrying now I suppose age was against

I had significant pain in the left upper thigh and received physiotherapy which helped (ultrasound). The physio felt that the leg weakness had inflamed the tendons at the top of my thigh. We discussed raising my pred which I did, to 13. Not a big jump but it helped.

So I've had a pretty "hard" manual lifestyle and have arthritis in both shoulders, already had cortisone injections in both shoulders, so that tells me I have worn out my joints, also to throw into the mix I've now got chronic back ache,and my left hip is "twinging " I can't sleep with my back properly

He said to have physiotherapy for this. Brain MRI report received this morning. All Seems normal expect a comment about partial empty sella which is shrinking of putitutory gland. Not serious as i understand Does anyone suffer from similar head symptoms because of mild cervical spondylitis ?

I suppose they will go through the same process anyway with physiotherapy, cortisone etc before putting me on a waiting list. Any tips or advice to get me through the operation and recovery would be much appreciated.

I'm attending Cardiac Physiotherapy, but it's very gentle exercising, and I'm constantly being told not to 'push it too much'. At the moment I don't feel I'll ever reach my original levels before all this happened. Yet I'm told people can go back to work and lead a relatively normal life!
