How to manage pain while starting PT

Hi all,

I was just diagnosed with bilateral FAI after some substantive pain that’s been just horrible to be honest.

I went to a doc yesterday who is recommending we go the route of 6-8 weeks PT before seeing if we need to go the injection or surgery route. I’m ready to commit and see if it works, but I need sooooooomething in the meantime. I just tried to do a short walk around a museum and while it didn’t hurt in the moment, the car ride back was excruciating.

I got some biofreeze and lidocain rollers, and I’m taking probably 1,000mg Tylenol daily (doc is aware) and just would love any and all additional recommendations.
