I woke up Thursday morning in pain. Again! It’s not the excruciating pain I experienced before surgery but it’s still pain. It’s a gnawing, aching, constant feeling. I thought that 2 1/2 months after surgery, it would be better. I also didn’t think I would have to ice it around the clock like I still am. It’s taking it’s time! I am concerned by this fact.
I was late to my ATI appointment and I worked with Luba. We cut the ice and stim time and she just worked on my knee the whole time. She hadn’t worked with me in a while and she said my knee looks a little better. She asked me what my pain level was and I told her it was a 4. It just seems to be taking its sweet ol’ time to feel better.
She said that was surgery and when my time was up, she told me that this session was my last appointment that insurance would pay for. She gave me a paper to fill out for financial assistance and scheduled a few more appointments with Brad because I still need physical therapy. I’ll figure it out.
I see Dr. Frush on Monday before I see Brad and I am concerned. Concerned that I will not be able to go back to Barwis yet because my knee still hurts! I asked Luba about the length of time it’s taking to heal and she told me that everyone is different and I have other factors going on. My “other factors” being having MS among other things.
