Saw a PM&R doctor who specialized in back pain π€¦ββοΈ
A PM&R means physical medicine & rehabilitation. My nurse practitioner (NP) friend recommended I see one π€ Defined on Google as βPM&R physicians are medical doctorswho have completed training in the specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), and may be subspecialty certified in Brain Injury Medicine, Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Neuromuscular Medicine, Pain Medicine, Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, Spinal Cord Injury …β Also known as a physiatrist. She figured itβd be good to establish care, and I thought βWhy not?! π€·π½ββοΈβ
It was good to see someone! Iβd determined to bring this up to my neurologist π€
He also told us what to look out for! Spasticity! Meaning increased muscle tone π€ I believe in preventive care, so this information is gold for me π
