Hab a good Time.: Rehab is rarely like a day at the beach. There may be days that are uncomfortable. You should direct your concerns to the rehab therapist if you feel that the your comfort level is out of proportion with the rehab activity. Younger people tend to do much better and have less discomfort than older people.
