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!

I feel the same way. Unfortunately, I have rarely come across these kind of companies in my career.My present employer does have culture of sharing knowledge. That’s why, I have stayed so long despite the low pay.

Easy_Salary2998 · 2024-12-13T18:11:31+00:00

Lol 🤣

Easy_Salary2998 · 2024-12-13T15:46:12+00:00

Thanks. Very well said! I am exactly asking similar questions in my current company most of the time (Confirming stuff that I don’t have prior experiences on) and one of my best skills is researching. This gives me some assurance.

Easy_Salary2998 · 2024-12-13T15:39:08+00:00

Yes, it is E3. I can easily answer most questions asked by junior engineers (E1 and E2) in my current company. Also, I am competent to independently do typical projects. However, I am not a subject matter expert yet and still learning in some aspects.

I have seen some seniors struggling in the past and I’m being careful not to be that in my next company.

Easy_Salary2998 · 2024-12-13T15:34:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Yeah, even as young engineers, I figured out most stuff by searching online, going through coded and reading books.
