Hot tub problem?

by ElectricFrank - 2009-02-13 01:02:13

I use my hot tub twice a day with no problem. The only trouble I have had was back before I got the rate response turned off. The jets were vibrating the pacer and sending my HR up to the max setting.

I appreciate you comments janetink n electric frank!
Iwas having excercises treatment in a pool at my local hospital with 3 more sessions to go when I was suddenly whipped in for a p.m.
The girl from the hydro pool rang me to ask when I would be back and I said I had no idea when I would be o.k. to return, but that I wasn't having my first p.m. check till 12th March and I would ask then.
Out of curiosity I went online and I seemed to be getting the mesaage that it wasn't really recommended, which would be a shame as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I find it soooo soothing to be able to excercise in such warm water.
I am glad,reading your comments that I should be able to continue with it once I have checked in March.
Keep well Jan

Hi,

I am 100% PM dependent & walk, sit on a "noodle" & bike, etc.30-45 minutes 5 days/wk for the last 3 yrs (love being retired). The water is kept at 92-94 degrees & in a 80-85 degree room. This is at a PT facility. Also have done hot tubs but mostly sitting there.
Hope this helps. Leave me message if you want
more info.

Janet

The main thing is to be sure the incision has healed so there is no chance of picking up an infection. The girl at the hydro pool should be able to check for that or get a nurse to take a look at it.

I go into "hot tub withdrawal" after just a few days without it.
