Thanks for the feedback - my doctor is Mark Adelman, he's the Head of Vascular at NYU Medical and was my second opinion.

He's said all of his patients who have had this surgery have had no issues with recovery and given my age I should move forward. Another reason is because I am on 20mg of Xarelto (daily) and he does not want me to continue on blood thinners for such an extended period of time.

In regards to Physical Therapy, I have been having trouble finding someone experienced in NYC. Most PTs are unfamiliar with the condition and want to do general stretches based on the areas of pain.
