Physical therapy is hard work. Getting injured was the easy part comparatively. You didn’t even have to try to tear your ACL, it just sort of happened, but healing it is a huge pain. Physical therapy can sometimes take months to complete, and it isn’t like you are just sitting around getting massaged all day. Physical therapists put you through an intense exercise regime so that your muscles and bones heal properly and get strong quickly, otherwise you could easily re-injure yourself again. The initial injury is a shorter pain, but intense, whereas the physical therapy is a long drawn out pain that lasts for months. Give me the short burst any day.
