Private health insurance and being able to see a good doctor is the best way to go, that way you don't get stuck with junk or having to wait

I think NHS will soon become private company as well. I heard such roumours somewhere.

my doc said that the knive should be the last thing to consider
it'll help for a while, but won't actually heal the knee

and with "only" two injuries in 16 months it wasn't "that bad"

Dude, every doc says that surgery is the last thing you should do and it may not help, then after months and months of no cure for the problem and you get cut, you realize it was the only cure for the problem and shouldn't have wasted months/years with pain, injury and difficulty

They usually do arthoscopic first to see what the damage is, sometime they can even clean up the cartilage with out going under the full knife...

PLEASE!!!!! don't use "Celebrex". It's really bad for your heart.
Use Diclofenac gel instead.

You'll be better off, every ortho injury I had required surgery, but because I listened to them, it took months/years to get fixed instead of immediate.


Luck bro, hope it heals up, but if not have them carve it clean and you'll be good in no time, I was doing some normal physical activity the same day as mine got carved and fixed, and was back to normal within a month.

One of my teachers had fairly intense knee surgery - she can now one leg squat with perfect technique, jump around fine, but can't run over rough ground or hike downhill... I'd be tempted to avoid it as long as possible.
