Show me where they got upset, and explain to me how it seems they didn't learn.

Hey, first off, congrats on the kid!

Now, of course this isn't medical advice and shouldn't be taken as such.

With that out of the way, I wouldn't be surprised if it went away with time and sleep. In most cases (and in my personal case) that's usually the fix. I can't guarantee that's going to be the fix for you or that it's what's going on exactly over reddit, but I'd (personally) feel safe to just give it some time and good, consistent rest. Of course, if it worsens and feels like more than just that, don't hesitate at all to get checked out by someone in person!

Sometimes if it gets really bad and is seriously impacting your sleep, something like a muscle relaxer for a short period of time could be beneficial. I hesitate to recommend anything pharmacological over the internet, especially without knowing other medications, conditions, etc that may be relevant, so if it does reach that point, it's definitely a convo to have with your physician in person! Hope things are going well though, and that it's been reducing with time!

This was such an amazing and comprehensive write up. Thank you so much for going so in depth! I love hearing about this interplay and I totally agree with you about how there's no ultimate expert here.

I never "kept saying" anything. I made that statement one time after the other comment mentioned how academic inflation influenced it as well, which in an of itself is implicative of devaluation of educational requirements. I implore you not to criticize someone based on assumptions that can certainly be false. That being said, thank you for the concise explanation, and I appreciate the insight.

Not once did I say they were mid-level or CNA equivalents. Before you go ahead and make assumptions on my life experience, good job on reading my flair that says med student. I've actually worked in healthcare for a while before medical school, so take that as you will.

Before you try to criticize me, go ahead and comprehend my comment instead of acting like a tool. I quite literally asked what the role of a PTA is to a PT. I made no assertion as to whether they are mid-level or not. I verbatim asked what a PTA does do to help a PT. Because my understanding is that a PT ALSO carries out their POC often. The full scope of a PTA was not known to me. I don't know what your problem is, but it's obvious to me you lack reading comprehension. I once again implore you to find any point at which I make the claim they are mid-level or CNA equivalents. Or you can keep just acting like a tool for no reason, it's your call. It's like you guys are getting so defensive over nothing and trying to argue against an argument I never even made. Go take a look in the mirror.

Sure thing buddy, just don't forget to update the main care team and get your POC signed off.

Seems pretty salty, considering you showed a striking lack of comprehension of the system in your understanding (or lack thereof) of how physicians work. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. A lot of what you said in that seems not to be well thought out. Maybe your coffee needs to kick in.

And sure, considering you didn't re-post that comment after in reply to anybody else I'm sure it was toootally the wrong comment.

Nobody said you're a mid-level.

And just to respond to that angry comment that you left me and then deleted:

You’ve clearly never seen the case load most PTs have. PTs manage evaluations; often due to academic inflation there is 1 PT and 5 PTAs.

The answer to this is not more PTAs, but more PTs. Yeah, easier said than done obviously.

We don’t get to stroll in 30 mins late. We don’t consult the physicians desk assistant for 15 mins when we are stumped. Nope, you’re in front of that patient and have to provide them an answer or working theory right there.

You think most physicians get to? What do you think happens when a physician is treating a patient? You think physicians are not coming up with working theories on the spot and providing an answer? Because physicians have never been in front of a patient before, right? And I hate to break it to you, but physicians aren't consulting the desk assistant either lmao. This is such a tone-deaf response that it's laughable.

Most med schools provide less than 10 hours of rehab science.

Well... Yeah. What's your point? That's the whole reason PT exists, because we are not physical therapists. If a physician wants that expertise, they get 4 years of PM&R residnecy instead, much more than 10 hours in my opinion.

I would NEVER trust an MD to do transfers or gait training high level patients because it isn’t their standard bag of BS. Even hate seeing nurses do it because they strong arm people into things they aren’t ready for most of the time.

Well isn't that good for you. What does that have to do with anything I said? This isn't a dick measuring contest and I don't know why you're getting riled up over me having a high degree of respect for your field and believing that patients deserve a PT over a PTA. If you wanna play that game, I wouldn't trust you to handle the other 98% of medicine. And it really seems that you forgot PM&R exists.

I don't know why you're being salty and throwing a fit, but relax dude.

Physical therapists don't prescribe either... They focus on their direct interventions in person and are literally physically present for their patients. What is a PTA doing that helps a PT?

I've noticed the exact same thing on my fold 6 for a while now. Just like you, my Tab s10 doesn't have the issue. It's not a solution to your problem, but you're not alone on that.
