I plan to get him the surgery but in a few years. This may sound like a terrible decision but I would like to get another opinion but when we move out to the west coast (Washington) so we can have more of an option with who we see. Trust me, if it get worse or anything he will go in straight away. |
Please get a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon. I've known too many people who postponed the surgery only to find out it was much more expensive because of the joint degeneration and it wasn't as successful.
