I would definitely stay proactive. One thing about the care is that each doctor may only focus on a specific area, though some crossover. For example, my orthopod (the nonsurgical orthopedic) may see the "bigger picture" as would, say the physical medicine and rehab specialists. None of what you shared was a big surprise. It took awhile for my current "pain in the butt", if you will, to get addressed. This might have been decades in the making so I won't attribute it to medicine - maybe the way that some work in silos and technology was not good enough to identify the problem. The surgeons (depending on the practice) may only focus on specific areas, i.e. hip replacement and preservation vs knee, although surgeons are trained in (all joint areas) for example. I went through multiple PT sessions and orthos from other practices. They all had something to offer. With the last one, I still had a problem and laughed at the possibility of being on crutches. (I am known as the ever-ready bunny at work). Here I am, post-surgery, except for the surgical site, it's looking good! I had calcifications in the hamstring/tendon. So, learn from your providers and let them learn from you and the outcome will certainly head in the right direction. And YES, you are still young! Motion is Lotion! (I did Plasma Rich Protein, not stem cells for my knees, and it seemed to be good-again I was proactive with it.)
Best!
