Torn Cartilage aka Meniscus Tear

Thats the condition of my knee after the MRI scan.. Doc gave 2 choice.. one is to operate on it. The other is to rest for 3 months. The doc told me to take the rest option 1st before going for the operate option if the 1st one fails.

After reading up my condition on the internet..

Come to realise that my tear will not just recover after resting.. the tear will always be there even after lots of rest.. the rest only makes the condition better but the fact will still remain the same and that is the tear will not recover by resting!
I'm really lost.. there are the risk in operating... complications.. infections.. tons of them.. but if i dun go for the ops.. i will always have the tear.. and i would not be able to enjoy the activities i use to play... my fav soccer.. my dream of trialthon.. cos the tear will start to "disturb" me in no time..

Going to see the doc for advise again this thursday.. hope to get a better idea of my options and what are the underlying implications that will be involved..

HELP! HELP! HELP!

Peace Out!
