Theres no shame in the bath bench game, been using one for years and I love it. I'm pretty amazed about the PT situation. As to me most Dr.s are looking for this or that service they can sell... But sometimes Insurance will set a certain amount of it once you start. But they'll give you printouts of the excercises as you go. so when your ultimately done you'll have a full routine to address your particular needs and weaknesses... The tough part is building and sticking with your routine. Absolutely right if it helps Use it. With the walkers cane etc. you'll be moving more maintaining the muscles you have. And potentially building them and maintaining function. Verses without, not wanting to risk it, So just staying put... Here's a suggestion I posted earlier elsewhere. Who knows... but it's inexpensive and the source isn't selling anything. So in my never ending battle of Foot pressure Pain etc. I had an old container of Creatine, I had picked up along the way for some other reason. And decided to research its benefits and uses. When I came upon this, I'm just starting this now. But thought others might find it encouraging as well...
