Pain is the bodies barometer meaning if you mask pain there's no way to tell if you are over doing your treatment. Only after pain meds disapate do you realize you've overdone then it's too late.

My therapist recommended pain meds 1 hour before PT. I took it once and then a thought came into my head that said the same thing. "Pain is the bodies barometer".

I told the therapist no. I asked if we could go slower and have therapy go longer. She worked with me with amazing results!

Only thing was when insurance ran out, I had to self pay. It was costly, but it's what I felt was the right thing for me. Therapy was 8 months.
