I think I must respectfully disagree. In my experience, the best doctors recognize the value of PT in helping people cope with diseases, conditions or ailments for which there is no cure.

PT helps me keep my strength, balance and flexibility even though I have arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic pain and lung problems. My therapist is able to target problem areas with specific myofascial release, massage or manipulations. He also designs exercises to target a specific weak muscle, or accommodate my lack of hand strength and dexterity.

The proper PT after 5 hip replacement surgeries corrected a problem with my gait, got my foot in the correct position and relieved groin pain by strengthening the proper muscles.

Your right, pain during the PT.
And after the PT the neuropathy is still there.
