Not a pulled muscle / myLot

United States

November 24, 2021 3:09pm CST

Physical therapy says it is not a pulled muscle, but rather a pinched nerve. Same treatments, though. Before they did anything they sent Bob to get x rays. As far as anyone can tell, nothing is broken. He starts regular therapy next Monday. I hope it helps. He already has exercises he is supposed to do at home. Same things, at least in part, as I was given. Really helpful for him to do. I will be gone the rest of this evening, and tomorrow at least most of the day. Right now I am trying to get the cats in. Have a good Thanksgiving, if you celebrate, or at least a good Thursday. I will see you Friday or Saturday, at least for a bit.

Uhm, I think it needs to have traction?

@LadyDuck Okay. I assumed it is possible because it is nerve impingement.

@Shavkat My husband had a pinched nerve and the therapy was long and in the beginning you must avoid movements.

Me too. He is relieved that someone is taking him seriously.

@GardenGerty I can understand how that would worry him.

That sciatic nerve can cause a lot of trouble.

I have not been here much at all this weekend, but our visits were great. Back to the "real world" tomorrow.

I have experienced both. Both are a pain in the neck.

At least you know what you are dealing with now. Hope he is better soon. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Same treatment for a pinched nerve? This does not sound at all good.

As far as I know, some electrical impulses twice a week, and gentle movement. I guess it depends on where the nerve is. I just hope some one helps him get some relief.
