I dont know where else to ask this

Im seeing a physical therapist for permanent stress fractures in my back. He said if the pain persists the next step is pain management. I looked up 'pain management specialist' online but didnt get much info. Is pain management more excercise or are they just going to give me a bunch of pills?

 

Medication, usually. Or a combination of meds & PT.

 

I've copied this to the health section. You should get responses from both sub-forums. I agree w/ the previous response, btw.
