if your doctor wants to cut, without doing mri, go find another doctor. i had mine done 3 years ago. i had 30 days rehab. i was released to go back to early. i am a lineman for a power co. for 6 months my knee would swell if i climbed a pole. my doctor told me 12 months to total recovery if i did my rehab, 24 months without. he was on the money almost to the day. the longer you wait to get it fixed the longer it is to recover. the longer you put it off the more muscle loss due to not doing the normal things you would. the first 3 days were very painful, i got out of bed to early.
