Good idea @ezas123. I hope she is an Expert level trained by John Barnes. Yes ice and elevate are critical. And so is exercise. Even if you are led by a PT there is always a need to repeat them at home. Do you use or have a recumbent bike of some kind? Some folks like using those especially in the winter. At this point, I am considering it because every day is getting a little colder for a 2 mile walk along the river.....especially when it is windy.
What kind of medication if any are you taking? How are you sleeping?
Chris
