My father-in-laws doctors are kinda like this. He’s definitely had real damage in younger years but I think a lot of recent pain is because of a lack of any physical exertion, he’s allergic to stairs and takes the shortest path anywhere.
Spot on about the PT, it was probably the most regular physical exertion he’s done since the last surgery.
My docs are always like you need PT, stretches, and more movement for your upper back/shoulders/heel etc. Also stop doing these X things that bother it. In no way were they going to give me surgery or even pain killers.
- mistrial9 4y agoan old surgeon here in California (now deceased) used to complain bitterly about the PTs making more money than he did ! So many stories about that guy.. big game hunting in Africa was a status symbol, his daughter had a $200k wedding.. etc

- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoIt's true. The problem is hard it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.
- runamok 4y agoThe amount of money insurance will pay PTs is nonsense too. Last time my wife went it was like $40 or $50 an hour or perhaps less?
