Today was my first day to go to therpy. They are going to try this approach since I'm still in pain. The gentleman that was my therpist was a massage therpist. He was good I guess not to familar with this field. I had a tinge unit put on with hot packs. Then off to another room for I guess was like a massage. It hurt. My muscles are all in knots because I probably babied myself before the surgery. He said I showed all the signs of a pinched nerve, Well this is what was suppose to be fixed with my fusion on C5-C6. Now my arms are burning big time. I know my body has to recover from both the surgery which was 1/27/00 and that wasn't too long ago. Also from just the trama of the herniated disk. Will it ever be completly better? Will I ever be pain free? It can be depressing at times but I keep on going. Thanks just venting.... Clarice
