Are PT offices able to administer pain killers down there?
Although, having gone through PT on my knee after surgery, I can understand (temporary) visceral hatred of the physical therapist. Mine was a wonderfully decent person, but when she "motivated" me to do the PT, I felt something close to hatred.
I have had unfortunate requirement to visit some PT offices down here for both me and my wife, and the ones I went to were strictly physical, not medical, therapy. No docs, just therapists. Maybe some patients bring their own meds.
