My 3rd physical therapy appt. was yesterday, and it was determined that the pain I have suffered for 15 years may be caused by (1) severe nerve damage that causes muscle spasms and/or (2) significant muscle shortening caused by my two previous surgeries and post-operative recovery whcih would have resulted in the muscles and bones contracting more than they should have.
The PT appts. are successful in alleviating my pain while I am there. However, I find that resuming normal activities even minutes afterward bring on significant pain. I have been continuing the stretches and exercises at home. But, long term, I am still in a lot of pain.
Please contact me or reply if you have had a similar experience to mine. Bascially, I underwent a 2nd successful Harrington rod/spinal fusion surgery, but have suffered from left scapular pain since then. At first, the pain was occasional. Over the last few months, the pain has become a daily issue.
Please help,
