Hi Nettie,
Contrary to the majority of comments, I swam 3 times a week at my local public baths all the way through my induction treatment (CDT) without any problems and it kept me sane! My medical team were aware of this and did not advise me that I shouldn't. I've had to stop now following my SCT but will do again when i'm fully recovered and checked with my consultant.
Regards
Phil

Hi Michele,
Thanks for your reply. As I understand it you were only neutropenic as a result of your chemo. Did you become so again after your count hit 2.5? I'm still neutropenic 6 weeks post transplant.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks to all for the prompt advice (Dai, Helen, Mari). Yes, I have had the full work up in terms of skeletal survey and MRI and they are pretty clear. I agree that physiotherapy itself would probably would be too aggressive, however I work for the NHS (30 yrs!) and our occupational physio is very conservative and does more than just physio so I was thinking of seeing her for advice. Acupuncture seems the best option then, my only concern was regarding risk of infection due to low immunity and needles!
Regards
Phil
