How can I get over my vasovagal syncope?
Im a 34M with 5’7 and weight about 75 kgs. I had an ACL tear incident about 15 years ago while playing sports. Even though i had to wait about 4 months to get to see a doctor (for insurance reasons) then I was told that I tore my ACL completely and had a partial tear on another legitimate. When the doctor was showing me the MRI and describing exactly what damages I had, I fainted for the first time.
Later, for the next two to three times I wanted to get surgery, I also fainted. Therefore, I just stopped going and get it done. Also, I haf couple of instances where friends would talk about their ACL surgeries or my knee condition, I would just pass out.
Just yesterday, I injured myself on my knee and felt it getting out of place. Now I feel like I should really get this surgery, but I’m just really embarrassed. I feel like I should really get it done for my 2 year old son to be able to play with him while he gets older.
