I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong this morning. Yesterday, when the P.T. showed me the exercises to do, they all seemed very simple and easy, none of them hurt. This morning, I must be doing them all wrong because there's a few that I can't really do at all without pain. Apparently it makes a lot of difference to have someone standing there making minute adjustments in positioning and such. *is frustrated*

Can you call the PT? Good luck!
=D

He said that I could email him if I had any questions. If things don't feel better when I do them this afternoon, I'll drop him a line and ask what I'm doing wrong.

That sounds frustrating and a bit scary. I hope you can figure out what to do so they don't hurt or can find someone who can watch you to help you avoid tensing muscles that you should be keeping relaxed.

Today has been frustrating in general. I'm not a terribly patient person and I've had enough of this pain business already. I expect my arm to feel better and then I move it the wrong way and it REALLY doesn't feel better and then I get very frustrated (and sore). It will get better, just not nearly soon enough for my taste.

Did they give you written instructions so you can check what you are doing?

He did give written instructions, which I was following as closely as I could this morning. But they don't stop you when you're doing it wrong and help you find the correct position. They just lay there being all static and unhelpful. If things don't go a little better this afternoon, I'll email the P.T. with a few questions.

Yes, I too have had that experience with the written instructions but I thought that at least if you had them you would have the best shot at doing them correctly. Perhaps it is just because you are doing them that it is more sore. Who knows!

oh bother. I hope the PT can help you with the positioning etc...
