Surgery or no surgery, that is the question
I have torn my acl playing rugby a little over a month ago and am currently doing pt twice a week but I am kinda lost as to what to do next. My surgeon explained to me when I saw him that if after 2 to 3 months of rehab/pt the knee was stable enough, he would then advise against surgery (as is the common practice today he said). Both him and my pt told me that a good rehab could do wonders but I am conflicted because I understand the surgery is no joke but at the same time I don’t want to be living all my life scared that my meniscus could be shredded to bits anytime I fall. Being able to play sports is not a priority for me so I guess I could live without them but I don’t want to be physically handicapped at 24 either.
Any advice/stories are welcome (whether you have gotten the surgery or not) 🙏
