Is physical therapy supposed to hurt?


The journey down the health status rabbit hole continues. I've gone to physical therapy twice now to address the pain in my right hip. The first was an evaluation. Some of the stuff the PT did hurt a bit at the time and I was sore the next day. This last visit was extremely painful and I was very sore for two days after. Is this normal? I'd like to feel that I'm making progress to be able to walk for exercise again but worry that this is causing more damage.

I'm going again later today. This time I'm telling her to take it easy.

I hope it goes better for you. I actually had a bruise, and I don't bruise easily. Yesterday, she was a lot easier. Used the ultrasound thingy. Feeling much better today.
