If you could go back in time exactly 10 years
and give yourself some advice, what would you tell yourself?
“When you begin to feel burning in your left hip
at night, insist that Dr. Coyle write a prescription for physical therapy. In fact, make physical therapy your primary
focus before all but your family.” In my
defense, I did talk to my doctor about the burning hip at each visit. Nothing was done. I could ignore it, so I didn’t pursue the
issue. Now, I am in a ton of pain. Physical therapy is excruciating. I really am not seeing any good come from it
yet, but I know it will take another two to four more weeks to get to the
problem that has been growing for years.
I do feel a little stronger and that is a huge relief. In the last eight month, I feel I have been
losing my ability to do anything physical.
I am determined to change that through the therapy. I also want to start sleeping through the
night pain free. And I so can't wait to
be able to walk the dog for more then a half of a mile!!!
