pain during cpt

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I know that CPT makes me RESTLESS, especially manual CPT. I hated getting "beat" when I was little, and it would make me so restless that I think it just made the uncomfortabless of it WORSE. I don't know. I can understand though not wanting to do vest while having a PICC in place. The last picc I had, I didn't do my vest for the first few days because it did jar my arm and it hurt. But then after I got used to the picc, I was able to do my vest on a lower setting. <br><br>
I don't have much advice, but this was my first thought: that maybe he gets restless, and when you're restless, it's harder to tolerate certain things. Maybe make it a little more fun , like putting on a movie while doing vest or manual CPT?
