I am 4 months post op and I'm not getting any more PT. I am on Affordable Care Act insurance and got to the end of my approved visits. My PT gave me a letter to take to my 4-month follow up appointment with my surgeon yesterday. The letter said my ROM was within normal limits (except for behind my back). The letter mentioned that I have pain as I add back activities and I certainly do. I have been recommended for a home exercise program. I have no idea how long I'm supposed to continue with these home exercises - MB forever. At the doctor's office they told me I can't lift my grandson for another 2 months and to continue with strength training. I can't help but wonder if more PT would be good to continue to build up strength.
How long has anyone else's PT lasted? I definitely still have pain with a lot of activities; they told me it was normal and should dissipate over time. The PT kept telling me I was doing so very well, so I guess I am. It's a little hard for me to tell because before the surgery I had no problems with ROM (doc said other muscles/tendons were taking over) and the pain was not horribly severe. I had the surgery because the MRI showed tear with 2.4 cm retraction and my doc said if I didn't get it fixed it might become unfixable.
