Something you can do now until you find out more from the Dr, is be aware of your posture at all times.

shoulders back and down and not rolled forward -but relaxed and don't strain to do it.
Head in line with the shoulders and not forward of the body same thing as above if you can't do this perfectly yet -slowly work towards it.

I hope the Dr suggests an advanced PT that can help you reduce your pain & discomfort - there are good ones out there but as with anything you might get a few duds before you find a really good one.
Don't stay with any duds!
Not a condition for rookie PTs to learn on

If they don't listen to you or make you do things that will make you hurt worse - delayed pain!!} Tell them about it and if they don't make adjustments for that- move on to another.
Hopefully the dr will only rx to a good one.

Over the long haul i went to about 6 different PT places and learned things from each one -except the time I had a rookie reading out of his book
Didn't stay there long at all.
But by the end of my worst time was where I found the really good PTs and realized they had advanced training.
I found a really good chiropractor too and he does the various modalities same as the PTs did as well as any adjustments i need.
