Earlier this year I had to go to an assisted living physical therapy facility. I had issues with my neck and a knee that was too painful to walk on.
I got an epidural shot in my neck that got rid of about 80% of the pain. I didn't want to get a knee replacement so I ended up getting a nerve blocking device installed in my leg. I have to wear a charging device every other day for 6 hours. I have no knee pain. Of course the root cause of the knee pain is still present but I don't feel the pain. After 63 days I managed to get out of the rehab facility.When I first got home I
was in a wheel chair. Then I moved to a walker after a few months of twice a week visits from the PT person I just use the cane. I still have some issues that keep me on the cane. I hope to resolve those issues soon.

Good luck Evelyn. Let us know how you do

Physical therapy is amazing for my husband. He has gone twice a week for almost a year!

My neurologist recommended physical therapy but to make sure they were PT accredited. The PT tests me first on many aspects where I scored 54. After going twice a week for 8 weeks I scored 94.

The neurologist was impressed but stressed that I should go back for refresher every 6 months. I was at first resistant but as things became more complicated I decided to go back and it was a large success and I continue to do this. The recharge is usually in a 6 to 8 week period with definite improvement.

You will have to have physiotherapy but should be ambulance again. Work hard
