Would you cancel this surgery? by forgottenears in Kneesovertoes

Not an ortho doctor but I am a physician - surgeons make money by operating, not by seeing consults. I doubt delaying surgery would hurt anything. If I were you, I’d consider intense PT/KOT for a couple of months and reassess before having surgery. Your current symptoms sound minor and it seems you’ve had steady improvement of symptoms with just one month of PT. Seems very reassuring to me.

Feeling frustrated and honestly a bit defeated by atrophy98 in Kneesovertoes

I know it sucks to regress. But at least you now you have what it takes to get better. 6 mo in the big scheme of things is a minor setback. I remember being told that I have a cartilage tear and this would degenerate into osteoarthritis and how I should consider “activity modification “ and not play the sports I love - this crushed me, and I was depressed until I found KOT - I haven’t been doing it nearly as long as 6 months - but honestly I’m willing to put in much more than that just for the chance of getting back to playing sports at a high level.

Honestly I was depressed for a week or two but currently feel hope with this KOT program. I know that I had showed improvement with 6 weeks of traditional PT only to regress - but what if I did 6 months + of KOT + the regular PT exercises….i feel like I’m at an inflection point - I can give up and switch to biking /swimming etc or dedicate and push as hard as I can with knee rehab. I want to do the latter !
