    Re: Given three weeks, is this wishful thinking?

    I'm not quite sure because I don't know what your surgeon's insights and thought processes are on this one. Sorry! It is difficult over the net, for sure.

    With the tingling into the feet with laser, I'd check in with your PTs and let them know that's happening. I've had little experience with laser, so am not versed on the side effects or effects.

    Re: Given three weeks, is this wishful thinking?

    Thanks for getting back so quickly . I'm not too concerned about the tingles just thought it was wierd as the first two times I didn't feel a thing, probably find the swelling/scar tissue is diminishing so the laser is getting deeper contact.

    I think I'm just gonna keep soldiering on with the PT and see what happens at the end of the initial ultimatum. Kinda sucks having a vague understanding of what's happening but not full knowledge cause our fields are not interchangeable - but I suppose that's why vets/docs make some of the worst patients

    Haha, you can add physios to that bad patient list too!

    I think there would be a lot of similarities between the fields.

    I think you should discuss with your surgeon when you see him. He may change his mind if you've made a certain amount of progress. And if you're feeling like the PT is the best way to go, discuss this with the surgeon as well.

    Wishing speedy healing to you.
