You are right, you should not fear going to PT. Some days I was not thrilled about going, but I was never as anxious as you seem. I posted above that I have complete trust with my PT. He really watches my face and can tell when I am hurting. He knew when to stop and there were 2 times that I had to say "I need a break." He always listened. Please let us know how it goes.
@fjkphx I was wondering how PT went. I had PT tonight and watched as my PT worked with another patient. I could tell it was uncomfortable, but the PT kept asking how he was feeling and stopped or tried something different if he was uncomfortable. I thought about you while watching and am hoping your experience was better this time.
I was thinking about your posts. Another thing to keep in mind that you are so very early out from your surgery. Surgery of any kind is a huge assault on the body. Surgery that is this traumatic, even more so. I understand there is a push to PT from very early on. I hope you were able to come to an agreement with your therapist about what is reasonable, what will allow you to progress w/out anxiety and unneeded fatigue.
