I think they are concerned because I have been in a lot of pain, so they are afraid to aggravate my condition even more? I'd ask the rheumy but I don't see him until May. I do know my PT doesn't want me to do the core strengthening exercises (aside from keep the core pulled in) until I am out of pain. He is the one who told me I could come and hang out in the pool anytime I wanted.
Just in the past couple of days the pain has really picked up and is starting to wake me up at night. I guess I'll call the rheumy's office tomorrow and inform them of the change and ask about the exercising. At this point even walking around doesn't help me--and that used to a bit.
