I want to keep the job though and I'm at the point is rather risk it with surgery. I've read if you do Pt with the arteries rubbing you can get in trouble.

If I told my instructors they would probably freak and wouldn't let me do anything as they are very tight on injuries so I'm on the fence.

I'm still trying physiotherapy and I have a new Physio at the moment who is very good but will wait and see. I'm a fit guy still and belive if surgery went well I could recover quickly, but then again I'm in Australia and I was the first person in my area to get tested as positive for ATOS

Thanks again will look over the forums on the weekend
