I have a torn meniscus and my ortho doctor said I should do arthroscopic repair surgery and that the tear I have is the best type to fix. Now, three weeks after the injury, (which I didn't even feel when it happened while playing soccer), I can walk normally, only feel pain when I fully straighten or fully bend it or when I load it a lot while walking. Now I'm thinking about canceling my surgery appointment and just doing physical therapy to fix this. Has anybody else foregone surgery? I'm 35 years old in moderately good shape. Any tips or experiences with the surgery?
Thanks in advance,
Atul
