Physical Therapy

I had my first of 7 visits to the physical therapist. They decided to apply some type of drug to an electrode and attach it to my wrist where the inflammation resides. For the next 10 minutes, it delivers the drug through my skin, then they take an ultrasound device to it for a few minutes which further drives it in deep.

Apparently this is desire over giving an actual injection. Seems like a lot of work for a sore wrist, but hey they are the experts.

I also have some stretching and massaging exercises to do to my wrist twice daily. At least I go 3 times a week for the visits so it will be done with in 2 weeks. I just hope this fixes it. I'll be pissed if I still have to receive an injection after all of this. I have nothing against injections whatsoever, but if it turns out I needed one anyway it would have been nice to just get it from the start.

  1. cortisone injections suck. I hope you don't have to have one either!!!! They work, but hurt like hell for about a day.
