I'm on my way to my first PT session to rehab my knee. In anticipation of the pain I've already popped an Advil.lol
Three times a week for the next 6 weeks. I can't wait to get this knee back to normal but I'm not looking forward to rehab at all.

Good luck!
You have a positive attitude and that will take you far.
Just keep repeating to yourself through the pain, "This is worth it. This is worth it."

If your PT facility has an underwater treadmill, use it. My DH said he was able to do more on the underwater treadmill with less pain while rehabbing his torn Achilles.
Good luck with your PT. It will be worth it!

PT is a literal pain, lol, but I know it's important. I'm nearing the end of my sessions to rehab my torn rotator cuff. Hope your first one goes well. Good luck!

Good luck. Just grit your teeth and know that every session will be a tinier bit easier than the one before.

I found that when I chewed gum during PT and cussed some (ALOT!) it was a little more bearable! My therapist actually suggested the gum because I was gritting my teeth so hard (Mine was for after surgery for a torn rotator cuff). Best of luck and the advil prior does help!

I can sympathize. I've been in PT for a few weeks, on top of having acupuncture. Today I feel like I had a breakthrough. It has been torturous hell getting to this point, though. Hang in there!

It's so worth it! My dh is a PT Assistant. he has patients stop him to visit all the time. People he worked with years ago are happy to see him. They bring food for the therapists and at Christmas, the office is packed with treats. It may hurt like hell, but your therapist will become your new best friend. That's how awesome it is to see your progress every week and be amazed at how amazing you are. BTW, communicate with your therapist. They need to know how you are doing. If they give you homework, DO IT! It makes a huge amount of difference. My dh can always tell when a patient hasn't been doing their at home workouts/therapies.

It's soo worth it! You will be amazed when you start feeling better! Even with PT. It really helps and it;s always nice to look forward to the massages. Let them know what works and what doesn't. Hope all goes well and happy healing!
