I went to an orthopedist in 1975 contemplating surgery fora torn minis us that was causing me severe pain. He said you walked in here, I would not consider surgery unless you dame in a wheelchair. I'm sure that surgical procedures have improved since then but I'm glad I didn't have surgery. For the occasional bout of pain a cortisone injection does the trick.
