No matter how dedicated and determined one is to do their physical therapy exercises every day, it would be best to do them AFTER one has taken the pain medication.
My physical therapist suggested doing them after a hot shower, when one's muscles are warmed up. I also would heat a lavender/rice hull wrap in the microwave and warm my back with that beforehand.
My mother is still in the hospital (post surgery), but she's got the nursing staff trained. The nurse comes with the pain meds half an hour before the physio arrives. It works for her, at least.
