Yesterday was my first physical therapy appointment for my foot pain. Last time I went to the doctor it was rediagnosed as neuromas: abnormal growths of nerve tissue. Nerve tumors, basically. Benign but sometimes causing pain. I can feel them with my thumb. Big and lumpy and wrong-feeling.

Physical therapist decided metatarsals 2-4 too stiff, so he bent and flexed each foot for 10 minutes or so. Boy are they sore today. Expected. Annoying.

Last night, got a shoulder massage. Professional. One hour just on shoulders. BAD knots and adhesions in there. Today I feel bruised and swollen all over my upper back. VERY swollen. Achy: wearing a purse hurts. Expected. Annoying.

I'm hoping it's all therapeutic pain... er... I mean pain indicating changes which happen to be in a positive direction. Both the PT guy and the massage gal indicated I'd be sore later.

It's nowhere near menstrual-pain level [she said, knocking on pressboard]. :)
