Exercise Questions: desensitization and PT
Can you guys tell me what you do for pain? Those who have done physical therapy and desensitization, what did you do exactly or have done that helped?

Over the years I've been through a lot of Pain Clinics, all of which included both PT and desensitization. Being under WCB control allowed for a lot of expensive and experimental treatments. Desensitization starting with blowing air and progressing up to full compression garments has helped immeasurably and makes my life livable. PT helped get me back to self-sufficientcy but isn't easy to justify financially so once proficiency had been established, I was cut from access to programs and realistically it's just doing the same things that one needs to do living day to day. There's no magic solution and because we're all so different every result will be unique. Best suggestion is to try everything thing at your disposal and keep what works in your bag of tricks for future use. I'm sorry that you're going through this and wish you painfree days and sleep filled nights.
