what should I expect? I have had chronic pain for 10 years of my sacroiliac joint. I have documented osteoarthritis and bone spurring in this joint. I had tried acupuincture, physical therapy 3 times, chiropactic, medications, and I take lidocaine patches every day.
This feels like my last resort…. what do you think he will do… my PCP is “afaid” to prescribe me real pain meds… but I am living in pain ALL the time and do not feel as if I can have a normal life. I must mention I am only 34 and have had this for 10 years.

Can a physical therapist with a succesfull private practice make as much money as a medical doctor?
I’m not personally in any pain, but I’m writing a book and one of the characters walks with a cane.
He’s male and sixteen years old. He’s average weight and height.
I was going to just have him have an injury from falling in track or something, but I thought, ‘No… that would heal and get better eventually.’
What I’m looking for is some sort of condition that would make his knee hurt, but not insanely horrible all the time. Something that couldn’t be cured simply with surgery, but something that’d need some physical rehab or something.
Please and thank you? 
HI. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AND THE MAX. A PHYSICAL THERAPIST CAN MAKE. THANKS.
I have been perscribed (sp?) to physical therapy for a torn meniscus and sprained ACL. I truly want to fix this, but pain in my knees scares me.
