Is PT really helpful or more of an aggravator?
Hello
The last 4 months have been problematic to say the least. I am 60 yrs old, now retired & have had bouts of back/hip pain for years. In Feb this year I had a sudden onset of sciatica symptoms through left buttock down to my toes.
There has not been a pain free day in 4 months. I do take Celebrex, Pregabalin & Panadeine Forte. Trying to stay as active as possible. Finances are really tight so have not been to PT yet.
In your experience with stenosis, doe PT really help, or just aggravate your symptoms?
