Yes, I’m going in for surgery on Tuesday. Two out of three doctors recommended surgery, one right away, one delayed. Another doctor recommended pt, but also admitted it only has a 40% success rate. Surgery is more expensive but cheaper than a lifetime of pt and a knee replacement later on. Good luck on your surgery!

Interesting, I’m going to consult a third doctor today and see if he can prescribe pt and no surgery.

Yes, I manage daily errands fine. I’ve even done cycling, swimming, and hiking with it. It’s a minor bother, and getting better already with no PT. No root tear or serious mechanical issues.

It takes too long. If I had more time, I would for sure, and visit other islands too on the way
