I am still doing stretching exercises. My next appointment with my PRP doctor is Tuesday. I'll see what he has to say. No, I'm not stepping over the baby gates anymore. One stays but the other is gone. That one has been replaced with a 3' by 3' pen that folds. I set it up in front of the doorway and move it when I want to go into or out of the room. I have access to the other room without stepping over a gate.
The pain occurs less often than it did. I don't really notice it until around 3 or 4 p.m. Sitting helps the most for the right side which is the most painful.

You are probably wise to stop the exercise that causes numbness. And I assume you will now walk through the baby gates rather than step over them. What do you plan to do next? Try the Lose the back program? go back to the PT that did ART? or look for an less experienced ART provider near you? Please let us know what works for you. Best wishes, Mary
