I'm going to be hopeful and see how a few months of conservative treatment works. I can walk, albeit uncomfortably, so we'll see how that goes, too.
I am seeing a very well known sports doctor (he's one of the orthopedic surgeons for the new York Jets) and I like the fact that when he and I and one of his students were discussing possible physical therapists, and one local one was suggested, he immediately piped up with "Not him--he sucks". I appreciate a doctor who'll give a candid negative opinion on another health professional. (Very rare indeed.) ![Embarrassment](images/smilies/redface.gif)

I'm sorry to hear you have a tear. As far as walking while waiting for healing, be careful. I've seen many patients who put too much pressures on their good knee by compensating.
I'm glad to hear you have a good orthopedic doctor makes all the difference. Good luck with everything!
