Meniscus tear- right before football season
So my 18 year old son thinks he may have torn it doing heavy squats. He was in some pain but has rested it for 3 weeks now and is pain free. The PA said surgery but we haven’t met with the surgeon yet (this week). Is there any way to salvage his season? It’s his senior year and he is a captain. He will not be playing in college. Has anyone done PT and possibly injections and played? As he is not in pain it seems odd to jump right to surgery but he has been resting it. I’m so sad for him. Even if he was able to rest it and do PT and possibly play the second half of season or maybe the last few games that would be awesome but clearly I don’t want his injury to become worse. I wonder if there’s any way to put off the surgery until after the season. Anyone have experience like this?
