UPDATE: BAD "P.T." APPOINTMENT!!

Well I went into Seidle Memorial on Thursday for Physical Therapy for my back, because I have back pain with this excess skin. Anyway, the therapist calls me back and I get up out of my seat in the waiting room, take 2 steps and go down! I twisted my ankle right away and fell on the floor. It swelled up right away and turned purple. They picked me up and put me in a wheel chair and took me up to the Doctors and got me an x-ray. I tore the ligament in the top of my floor and I have a bad ankle sprain. So I left there in a removable cast and crutches. I am a mess, let me tell you!! I am back to work today and I will attempt to go to "P.T." again this Thursday and try not to bust my a$$!!..lol. Erin 310/158/151

Erin~ So sorry to hear that! It always seems like there's something huh?? I hope your ankle gets better soon! I have alot of back pain too from the excess skin and the "boobs" What are they doing for you for your back pain?? Again hope you feel better soon girl!

Thanks for your response,hun. They haven't done anything for my back yet. That was my first appointment, and needless to say I didn't even make it to the exam room...lol. I have my new appointment this thursday at 10:30. I will let you know what they do then. Erin

hopefully they can fix your back easilier than they do mine. My surgery for my back is this friday at 7:30 am Kim

Of course, Kim, I don't have back problems as bad as yours girl. I will be thinking of you this Friday. Good Luck, I know you will do great! Erin

Gosh, Erin - that sucks! I'm sorry you're in such pain and then fell down and hurt yourself on top of that. I'm just lurking these days - but I'm still out here. "Mom"

I am not really in a lot of pain anymore. My back is always sore, it's been that way since I "USED" to have some boobs ( they have seemed to disappeared...lol ). But now , with the skin, I end up hunching over by the end of the day. So they are going to teach me exercises to strengthen those muscles. As for my foot, the only thing that hurts is to touch it. It's black from my ankle to my toes. It feels like it needs to pop real bad, but I won't attempt to do that! I miss you mom, wish you would post more! Erin

Erin, You poor thing, just what you needed. I know what spraining an ankle is like, I had a severe sprained ankle in Nov. 2005, needed a cane for 2 months and finished with PT in April, 2006. I worked in a PT office for years. Take it easy and only do what you can, don't over do it. As for your back, try a chiropractor. I love mine. I get my adjustments 3 times a week and it feels so good, I also have worked for a chiropractor too. Think i've been in the medical field too long (18 Yrs), and that not even being a nurse. Recover quick as you have some plans to finish for September. Take it slow, time will heal all. Lisa J. in Mass

Erin, that sucks! How are you feeling now? Marcia
