Started physical therapy

[Naptown Chief]

I apologise for not remembering what happened to get you here, but I too have chronic pain. Mine is in my back, hips, and have nearly constant sciatic pain.

I oftentimes take a HOT bath before my stretches and follow up with ice. I used to use a heating pad beforehand but the wet heat seems to loosen things up more. The pain afterwards is definitely less than with the pad but YMMV.
