That's the spirit. I know what you mean regarding PT. I went to PT six months ago for my neuropathy. I thought that I would receive personalized exercise for my condition. Then on about my third visit the gal next to me was getting exactly the same exercises. I don't remember what her condition was but it wasn't neuropathy. I actually felt worse after each session. I stuck it out for another four sessions only to feel even worse, so I stopped. I'm not sure what exactly it takes to get the exact program that matches your condition, but I didn't find it there. Glad you are able to do all that walking. Keep it up! You are doing something right.

I, too, discontinued going to PT. And like you, I was feeling worse-not better when I came home. , I do a stretching program every morning and--I do not do those exercises that I know will cause spine pain for me. This program does not advocate using weights. I am also working on balance. I wonder how many of these therapists are fully certified. The walking for me is not so bad. It is the sitting that causes the pain. I am also concentrating on diet as a means to help me. No processed foods here. I had to eliminate gluten and it made a big difference. I try to eat less sugar. I know I have osteoperosis and I will check with an endocrinologist to see if he can help.
The bottom line is that I am angry that this had to happen. So much to deal with since 2025 came along.
