Get PT: Your PT professional knows how to tailor the therapy in acute stage and to promote healing. So it would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice and get physical therapy. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
