@annie1 - Good advice from Jennifer. My thoughts are that "just" five weeks post is very early to expect to much in your recovery. As frustrating as it can be - often the best recovery strategy is time-related and can't be hurried. Look for ways to occupy yourself other than vigorous activity, until you feel up to it. Manage food intake as I found food was a great way to pass the time...but with the obvious negative side effect of weight gain.

Listen to your body. Don't over stress it while much of your body's energy is being funneled to healing. I actually learned how to be patient! No one in my family thought that possible...

Not all physical therapist are created equal. Think about trying another therapist or office if yours in not helping after a reasonable amount of time.
