Hi jjon915
You mentioned that you tore the ligaments and tendons? Did they say how badly torn as there are many different types of grading for tears of ligaments?
Sever tears can take a long time to heal as well as the Dr said but what is worring is the fact that they are using a wait and see policy with it. yiu seem to have dine the right thing and decided to get a second opion for it. AN opperation would have been best if it was a complete tear as it would be unlikly for the ends to re-attach are you applying ice to it at the moment and doing any movement exercises?
Cheers Rob
