Sorry, just saw this. Im certain your Dr believes this tear will not resolve if left alone. So good luck! This is a minimally invasive surgery if an arthroscope is used. Do all the rehab suggested to avoid any scar tissue from forming. You'll be fine! Joe

Hi Joe -
Thanks for replying - I always enjoy your encouragement! Yes, arthroscopic surgery. One tear is significant and will not heal on its own. I'm walking two to three miles a day on hilly terrain pulled by two rowdy cattle dogs to stay in shape. It hurts, but I'm wearing a silly brace (more for reminding me not to twist than for any actual help) until surgery. I'm pretty compliant so I will do all the suggested rehab. Ready to have this behind me and get on with life!!! Thanks again 😊
