I was contemplating surgery years ago because the first doctor I went to said if I wanted to get back to the way I was before the injury I had to have surgery. Thankfully the second doctor I went to said, "You can get surgery if you want, but I'm not going to do it for you. Surgery is for fixing things that impact your everyday life. This doesn't impact your everyday life." I was able to get back to the activities I was doing before the injury without surgery. So grateful for that doctor's advice.
