I'm doing both physical therapy and pool therapy right now. PT hurts more to do than pool work, but Pool makes me tireder afterwards. I honestly believe the pool is helping me more but am doing both. But the PT is trying to push too hard too fast. My work out Monday had me in screaming pain Monday night, and for 2 days afterwards. Whatever you decide to do as far as physical movement goes... be careful with it and don't push too hard too fast, or you'll trigger a flare. I honestly believe the water is helping me more than the PT is. (And god knows the hottub afterwards feels like heaven!) I'm going to have a discussion with my doc next week about PT vs Pool and which is better. At the very least, I have to slow down on the PT. Oh, and I LOVE my chiropractor. Some think it helps, some don't. But since I also have joint degeneration disease in my hips, getting my back lined up and cracked helps with that a ton. All of us have different things to help us cope with the pain. What works for one, may or may not work for another. Adewyn does Zumba aerobics. That would put me in the hospital!
