New approach by a new physical therapy doctor 12/1/2025

In my dream, somebody encouraged me to keep doing the homework exercises that the physical therapy doctor taught me.

This morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, even though I woke up in the middle of the night frequently.

I went to my ninth physical therapy session. I could drive there by myself, and I was proud of myself for the progress. Usually, I was seen by a young female doctor, but she called in this morning, so that a male doctor who is the owner of the clinic saw me. It was an interesting synchronicity. Just last night, I pulled an angel card asking exactly what I should do to drastically improve my nerve pain in the right foot. The cards told me that I need to drastically change all the e routines such as in a physical therapy doctor, a new approach to deal with the nerve pain, and new exercises. I actually start wishing about changing a physical therapy doctor from the young male doctor to the experienced and skilled male doctor/owner of the clinic. The young female doctor told me she was still new with only a 1.5-year actual job experience. She always focused on my spine, but never dealt with my nerve pain. I started accumulated complaints about her approach.

The male doctor did all the new approach to tackle with my nerve pain. He applied the dry needling with electric stimulation on the back of my right knee, which the young female doctor never did. The exercises that the male doctor instructed to me was much more intense that I had lots of sweat. After I left the clinic, I got lightheaded and dizzy.   

In the evening, my husband told me what he heard from the bone doctor. The day when I had a diagnosis from the back doctor was October 27th. I was still in extreme intense pain and didn’t understand all the details of what the doctor told me. All I understood clearly was the back doctor really saw me as his practice material. He was eager to do a surgery on me as one of his actual practices. He told me there was no option left for me except a surgery. He pushed me to agree with having a surgery from him. He wanted me to make an appointment of a spine surgery as soon as possible. My husband, on the other hand, listened more carefully to the doctor. The back doctor showed the X-ray picture and pointed one part of my lower spine. There was one dark spot next to the spine. The doctor explained the spot as the calcium. As long as the calcium attaches to the spine, it is fine. However, with a certain trigger, such as a rough treatment or push from a chiropractor, the calcium part separates from spine and attaches to the big nerve. The back doctor believed the main cause of my intense pain was the calcium part separated from spine due to the chiropractic treatment. That is why the back doctor strongly believe that the only option to solve this issue was a surgery. He said he can get rid of the calcium part.
