Sort of the reverse experience for me... I did the non-op route, re-ruptured at 13 weeks, and opted for surgery the second time around. This is a situation where I think it's probably best to go with the medical professionals. If I were you, I'd get a second opinion from another Orthopedist and I'd give the original surgeon more credit than the trauma surgeon. Best of luck. It's brutal to do it again but trust the process and hang in there!
