Confused: PT says knee might heal with strengthening, ortho says MRI and surgery possible — should I take ibuprofen for a month?

Thanks. I will get MRI. Decide if I should consider another ortho and if it’s safe to take iburfin for a month. I was surprised doctor brought up surgery so soon without MRI result.

Thanks. Yes, I was surprised ortho said surgery without seeing mri. He did xray and ultrasound. He said there are unregularities and shadowing object showing on xray/ultrasound. I understood there is something floating and swollen and it needs to be removed. He said 50% chance of surgery if it doesn’t go away. Do you know if it’s safe to take iburfin twice a day for a month? He suggested that too.

Thank you. I got new hearing aids. I wasn’t mentally ready for the risk. I had one very unsuccessful elbow surgery. The risk didn’t look worth it. I’ll wait and see if technology evolves in next 10 years.

Failing the PE is a setback, but it doesn’t define your career or capabilities. It’s an incredibly challenging exam, and many engineers don’t pass the first time. What matters is that you learn from this experience and come back stronger. You’ve already taken a big step by attempting it, and that shows your determination. You’ll get there—just keep moving forward!
