[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My pain was due to weakness within stabilizing muscles. My primary muscle groups were relatively strong, but I was hyper mobile in my joints. I was referred to a PT practice that offered Pilates-based rehab. While I had failed traditional PT a half dozen times, Pilates finally helped. It kicked off a virtuous cycle where the exercise helped my mood, sleep, and pain, so I was able to exercise more and get mobility back.

I also had some success with meds, but I had to try a lot. Most of the ones for chronic pain are antidepressants that are either being used off label or have an additional FDA approval for chronic pain. I never found a magic bullet that “solved” the pain, but I did find meds that reduced the severity, frequency, or duration. For me, cannabis was the most effective at eliminating pain altogether, but I didn’t want to feel intoxicated most of the time, so I reserved it for severe episodes only.[/quote]

Can you share your PT practice?[/quote]
