Hi @migizii Just noticed that you are looking to get back to a “therapy” swimming pool. Pools are very high sources of mycobacterium.
Although you do not have NTMs now, bronchiectasis leaves you susceptible. I learned about pools and hot tubs being a source of infection from this Mayo site. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=12&ved=2ahUKEwiq5Zaf1MrkAhVrg-AKHdgjC-UQFjALegQIAxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fonlinelibrary.wiley.com%2Fdoi%2Fpdf%2F10.1046%2Fj.1365-2672.1999.00909.x&usg=AOvVaw2maBwknTQCas398E3gYMMF

I’ve heard this before @alleycatkate but I’m really struggling trying to find a way to lessen the pain in my foot (pretty much a constant 5). I certainly do NOT want to complicate my lung issues AT ALL! I’m doing physical therapy for my foot and my ability to walk improves, but the pain level will not abate yet. I guess I better not take any chances but find other ways to lessen foot pain through some other means........I am going to the bronchiectasis workshop in Denver next weekend and I am excited to learn as much as I can about this illness.
