Anyone ever skip PT?

Conservative Measures

NSAIDS, Lidocaine patches, Steroids…. Nothing is touching the pain, inflammation and weakness in my hip, instead now bursitis has entered the chat. New injury, workers compensation and I’m out of work due to pain, and was wondering if anyone ever said no to months of PT and just went ahead with surgery instead? I just want this to be over with so I can go back to work. I don’t want to waste months of time trying conservative methods that won’t actually treat the issue.
