Saw Dr. Tom Kleeman at NH Neurospine Institute on Monday, Aug. 6. That man irritates me by being so condescending, judgmental and in general against ANY exercise involving water. He said I have been hard on my lower spine in the last 5 years. The message I got was that unless I lose a bunch of weight, lift weights every day and stay out of the pool, I am a worthless piece of .....! AND it's my fault that I have this condition! Well, at least that's what it felt like.
Dr. Chuck and Paul Cormier both agree that with my issue,s the pool is better to walk in than no walking at all! Not to mention all the other exercises that I do in it. However, I did agree to meet with Kleeman's PT guy on the 17th and let him have a go with me. Paul C even agreed to go down with me...partly because he felt guilty about all the free computer work I have been doing for them. ( Even though I consider it recreation!) I am going with a long list of questions... and depending of how I feel in October I may go see another doc for a follow up instead.
