As someone who has had more than his share of time with Surgeons over a lifetime of sports injuries I spotted that part of the post as well. In my opinion there are a few injuries I had when I was younger and not experienced enough to advocate for myself where I wished I had pushed for surgery as early as possible to avoid years of time being compromised. Physical therapy is no substitute for just getting the issue fixed and I've never heard the phrase "too young".

Is the doctor an Orthopedic Surgeon and if so has she reached out for other opinions?
