Knee Pain Physiotherapy Slows Guillain Barre Syndrome Recovery

Well today I had some more knee pain during my physiotherapy session today which can slow down my recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome. I noticed this when I went walking today between the parallel bars. It didn’t take me long before I started experiencing some pain in my knee. This happened yesterday as well.

The doctor yesterday said they were going to order an x-ray however after a physical examination today they canceled it. They are going to keep an eye on it going forward. An X-ray won’t show anything, an MRI is what will be needed if done.

During my physiotherapy session today after I experienced more pain the physiotherapist started treating my knee. She used ultrasound to do so. Going forward there won’t be any more walking between the parallel bars this week and she’s hoping that over the weekend might give my knee a rest.

My physiotherapist talked to the doctor and if my knee is still bothering me next week an MRI is going to be ordered. She’s also going to look at give me a brace for my left knee or taping it up to give it more support.

After standing up last week and supporting my own weight I’m not happy about my knee pain. I’ve been making some great progress and this could impact my recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome by slowing it down. I’m supposed to be going forward. Hopefully my knee feels better next week. I definitely don’t want anything slowing down my progress.
