When I was in beginning of my 20s I would put blind trust in doctors.
Unfortunately I had a ligament tear in my knee and after 4 surgeries I developed some pretty bad pains.
I took a vacation and scheduled visits to 10 orthopedic surgeons who had some of the highest medical credentials in the country.
Everyone told me that pain was caused by a different thing and dismissed ideas of other doctors.
The confidence with which they told me the reason would have convinced me have I not visited other doctors.
Later I had similar experience with doctors from other health areas.
Essentially, in medicine they can only diagnose the most typical stuff, for anything else it's just a bunch of wild guesses.
- ProjectArcturis 3y agoDid you ever get it solved? Also, they just discovered a new ligament in the knee a few years ago. Orthopedic science is not where a layman would imagine it to be.
- swe_dima 3y agoI think I solved it to a reasonable degree given the situation. Took a few years and about 50 of PRP and hyaluronic acid injections inside the knee joint, one SVF procedure (probably the most efficient thing), and regular muscle strengtening. MRI shows that missing cartilage in my knee has grown back. Funny thing, if you Google right now "can cartilage in the knee grow back?" you are going to get a "NO" except for some experimental treatments.
