I had a consultation regarding my knees the other day with a surgeon. He reckons there's grounds to go in and have a look just on the basis of my symptoms. I had an MRI about 18 months ago, but he doesn't think it's worth getting a fresh one. I'm pretty reluctant to have surgery since the evidence for arthroscopy over physio seems pretty equivocal and my knee has been slowly recovering since the injury, so my plan is to really go at the physio exercises and see if that sorts it out.
Has anyone abandoned planned surgery due to better-than-expected recovery?
