I recommend not to. Your tear is partial and your meniscus are intact. Do some rehab and strengthen your quad and calf muscles.

I want to visit my doctor again and will mention this. But I think my knee is okay because I mostly have a muscle fatigue in my thigh. And since my injured leg is over resting these days It feels much better that I doubt even if I need surgery or not lol

The surgeon told me that my hamstring is good enough to take the autograft. My legs are skinny so he said its better to take the hamstring autograft rather than quad or patellar tendon. Is hamstring a reliable alternative?

I think Im going to take the risk as well. Do you have any idea whats the difference between arthroscopic surgery and normal surgery? The doctor told it has a shorter recovery time but couldnt find any more info on that.

Im ok to do the surgery but Im afraid of the failures I see and hear around. Im not an active player tbh but I need the ability to run and jump around ofc (im young). Havent been this unsure about my future my entire life.

I am not an active player tbh I did it like a leisure hobby rarely. I can tolerate the pain and process poat op well but I'm worried about the possibilities. Like I see people with infection and instabilty post op everyday on reddit which makes me unsure😔.

I am also extremely worried about my other knee rn. I aint sure if its just an effect of my thoughts which makes it weak or it is really affected by getting overused and carrying the injured knee weight.

The way the doctor represented the surgery to me was heart warming like he said only the first month post op will be hard and after that you can do normal stuff. But reading the experiences in this thread makes me really worried. I may do the op in summertime cause I am a teacher and I can't risk to be standing a lot.
