It writes as you need Full Reverse, I waited until I absolutely needed it. I delt with it for 14 years with a full rupture and several other not so major tears. I would not have done it any other way. I'm still recovering (been 7 months now) but at least I didn't have to stop working, stop playing, and other stops. I'm retired and going on 76 now. I have no regrets waiting.

I am 68. I somewhat relate to your comment as I am a very active person. Hands on kind of person doing everything for myself allowing no one to do anything for me that I can do myself. I ride a motorcycle, fix things for myself and adult children and others. This many times means hammering, digging post holes, splitting firewood, cutting trees or fixing their computers.

I can not allow myself to be sidelined until it is simply a medical requirement.
