Boytos:
I played competitive badminton for many years, with the real feather shuttle cocks, and it's one of many sports Doctors are now blaming for my tos. I don't quite see how something I did 20+ years ago is doing me in today.

Regardless, if you are playing badminton, why are you even thinking of surgery?
There are no quick fixes to this horrible condition. If there were, I'd be first in line, so I could simply get on my hands and knees at yoga class.
