I'm happy to hear your employer is sensitive to your current limitations.

 

This is just my opinion, but I feel if you do your exercises consistently PT is not necessary. My orthopedic center is connected to a hospital and some days even finding a parking spot in the ramp was difficult. If I felt I was not making progress I would have gone back.

If you are on Medicare, PT is covered if medically indicated. All you would need is your ortho to write a Rx for it.

PT is covered, and you can easily find info on the Medicare website. Did your doctor tell you that it isn't covered?
