To ref, or not to ref

I still exercise it and where a brace off and on. Good Luck.

Had a small tear 6 years ago that Doc decided would not require surgery. It took forever to heal, by forever I don't think the pain has ever gone away. Now I ref with the aid of my good friends Advil and Tylenol and knee support. If you have an option get the surgery you will be back up and on the floor in 3months and probably close to 100% in 6 months depending on severity of tear.
