too late

always cheaper and less risky to try conservative treatment first. as it avoids surgery well over 50% of times.

but you already said yes....so if PT were to fail, the Almighty surgeon will put you on the butcher, Infection and DVT list.

how often do meniscus tears get better with therapy



While about 70% of patients successfully avoid surgery, recovery typically requires several weeks to months of dedicated rehabilitation.
Key Facts on Meniscus Recovery with Therapy


Success Rate: Approximately 70% of patients with meniscus tears can avoid surgery through physical therapy, achieving similar outcomes to those who have surgery, particularly in cases involving osteoarthritis.
Recovery Timeline: Without surgery, recovery usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, though for some it may take 3 to 6 months.

When Therapy Fails: Roughly 30% of patients who start with physical therapy may still require surgery within 6 months due to persistent pain or instability.

Speaking of shit that happens more when you get old…..

I’m fighting a TOUGH case of tennis elbow on my non-dominant arm. Hurts to lift a full glass of water. It’s my first tennis elbow bout of my life.

How is David doing? Did he get his laundry back?

 

[stevek]

David is no longer a resident here.

My annoying roommate said he saw him at the park.

We did get him his laundry back, the laundry owner was real cool about that.

 

[roguejuror]

That's not fair! why he has to go

 

[stevek]

Apparently he threatened the worker here with a crowbar. That's why all the po.

Rogie don't be upset, he was a pain in the ass.

Still like him though.
