Guest fruitloverlady Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm not a doctor and do not actually know some of the jargon terms you've mentioned here. But I advise that you do this first - "50% Doctor suggested to start physio slow mobilty after 21 days and would recover and self healing is possible". If after a month you're not yet fully recovered, I think it's best that you go for surgery. However, this will depend on your actual situation. Do you feel severe pain or anything? If yes, then you should act now before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
