I am due also. More than likely I have declined. Last year I struggled with sciatica and didn’t do much nor did I choose an epidural. It does act up but with support therapies it’s manageable. Now I have a partial tear in the meniscus. No not a break just degenerative. PT says it’s common. I’m in the gym taking classes have a trainer in aqua aerobics , will start Fortibone. Much to the potential annoyance of the drs I will request to postpone until early next year. Don’t know how they will react and if I am making the right decision. I want to get my other medical issues in order first, but again it may be making the wrong decision. And you?
