Question about physical therapy; prefer to ask a p.t. or other related professional....?

I recently started physical therapy after being diagnosed with a herniated disc and after that, plantar fasciitis in my heel. I had a lumbar steroid injection, which really made me feel pretty good. I have had three sessions and do not notice any difference. In fact, relating to my back problem, it seems that some pain has reappeared. Do you think I should give it more time, or what? I have to take off from work to go to p.t. and hate to be wasting my time. Two different doctors have ordered therapy, a podiatrist for my foot and an orthopedic doctor for my back. I get ultrasound, cold pack, and exercises for my foot and exercises only for my back. Your opinions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's not uncommon for the effects of the injection to wear off and sometimes a series of up to three injections is required in more severe cases. The next question I would need to ask you is what types of exercises are you doing in PT and what is the immediate result after doing the exercises and for how long does that last? You need to discuss with the therapist for sure... I can give you more details after hearing more. We don't want you to waste your time or therapy visits either...so effective communication with your provider is certainly important...your exercises may need to be changed.

As far as the exercises for the low back...this and manual therapy are usually the best treatment options...ultrasound will do nothing for your back and cold packs only a temporary relief if at all.
