    My nickname for my physical therapist.

    After 10 years plus of gimping around due to FibroMyalgia, I've pretty much ruined my posture and gate, causing its own set of pain and mobility problems. In the last two years I've relied on a cane off and on.

    So I'm going to PT to get everything back to working properly. It "should" help reduce secondary pain. I'm already beginning to see and feel a difference in my posture and walking. Reduced pain and more limber.

    It's just that I'm IN PAIN for 2 days after an appointment. And all the appointment consists of is making sure I'm maintaining propert posture and pelvic tilt <no smart assed comments here, please> while executing the stretches and exercises.

    At least I'm beginning to see benefits... grr.

    I worry about this for myself. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in my late 20's.

    Sometimes its not difficult to live with......other times seems impossible.

    Is the therapy much like a chiropractor in lining up your spine?
