Sorry to hear that, David. I rotated my knee on impact skiing yesterday, and it hurts like hell - am hoping I haven't done the same thing. I'd say go for the surgery. I worked in an ER, then a trauma dept. for years, and if you injure the same knee again without the ACL (which is much more likely), you'll be in all sorts of trouble. Just out of interest, who was the orthopod you saw? Best of luck. |
