Thank you ! You all (as we say in TX, hehe) are correct, I decided againist surgery.

Having a timeline and money is not a good reason to do a surgery. even though I feel that PT and the pain meds will not work, I should give them a try. Especially since my pain level is so low and no reduction in strength, should it get worse I will revist the idea. Unfortunatley I will have to pay $2000+ for the waiting.

Is there any hope that the PT will help?
