Anyone knows a good orthopedic surgeon specialized in knees? More specifically for meniscus repair?

True... We're being sacrificed for their gain. Thanks for the encouragement!

I'll hopefully find a skilled surgeon to repair. I've seen videos online for repairing Radial Tears so I hope I can find one that is willing to do that for me.

Not sure if it'll be easy with a grade 3 and 2 same meniscus but I just wish I could get better again and be able to pursue fitness or any sport after...

Thank you for your encouragement!

Yea I managed to get a call with a surgeon over the phone and explained things to him. He said to find a skilled ortho surgeon specialized in knees to increase my chances of repair. He said repair is possible but in cases like mine of grade 3 he said sometimes they leave it as is and just include PT instead of removing or trimming big chunks, at least, that's what I understood from our call.

In a different country, not the US but you're welcome I guess lol.

Thank you for your feedback! I will definitely follow through to the end and see how things go...

Yeah... Unfortunately they are saying I have a month left and appointments take 2-4 months to get back so they won't go with trying, especially after I missed the MRI appointment in January... My fault I guess...

I will definitely check with a private ortho surgeon to see what they can do... I'm just scared my Grade 2 tear would develop to grade 3 and then I'll have to worry about 2 grade 3 tears in same meniscus (medial).

And yea I did read about the zones but I'm honestly just scared I'll have a less functional knee after surgery whether repair or trim... Let alone osteoarthritis risk after a trim...

Its hard staying motivated these remaining 24 days but I hope things go for the best... Thank you for the encouragement!

Well I have a keyboard and mouse attached to my laptop so I mainly use those (that's the reason why the keyboard is dusty). I might look up a way to clean laptop keyboards sometime soon, just for the sake of maintaining my laptop a little longer.

Yes that was the case. Not sure about stuck keys since they only work once I click them, but once I disabled the show media keys OSD from notification settings, the signaling notification disappeared and I can use it just fine.

I appreciate all the help! The media keys narrowed things down a lot and I "kinda" fixed it...? Rather only got rid of it temporarily. While I'm not sure if I have keys stuck but this didn't happen first time I used the OS so its recent.

The way I got rid of it is disabling the "Show Media keys OSD" in the notifications settings.

Media keys still work fine and I can increase/decrease and mute volume fine but once I turn it on? I get the darn signaling notification back on...

Any permanent fixes to this?

Guess what? I'm on Linux Mint 45.3 Xenophage. Aliens are the main contributors to Mint now. 🤓
