I think if you can manage it - being off work is the best way to really start healing. Use the time to totally rest, relax and recuperate - a focused healing time.

You have got overworked muscles and an over stressed, fatigued, pain filled body and mind.

If the PT is good , it and the massages may actually be able to do some real good for you when you are off work. Instead of just maintaining you so you can keep working.

PS - I'm a keep it to myself person too- or used to be - but I came out of my shell- LOL
