Avoiding Surgery

You should wait for your MRI and do your research about alternative treatments ask your doctor what he thinks your options are then listen to what he has to say. If you don't like what he's telling you go see a second and third. If they all are coming up with sugery as your best option then its a good bet thats what needs to be done. I tore my ACL and MCL in high school playing football. I didn't want to take the recvory time sugery would need off so I tryed to rehab it. Worst mistake I ever made. Ended up needing the sugery anyway but by the time I had gotten it done my knee was in such bad shape I couldn't walk for almost a year. The amout of scar tissue that formed from my leg being immobilized for so long after the sugery was crazy.
