Hi Schmucko,
How is you knee??
What city are you in??
I only just read your posts now. That's terrible - we live in Australia - you can get in to see any surgeon you want BTW.
Find another surgeon.
If you don't want to post detials, PM me.
BTW - if there is a good reason why they don't want to do an operation, then they should at least explain it to you.
I only send to doctors who are good communicators as well as excellent surgeons. In my experience, if a patient is to be successfully rehab'd, they need to understand everything that is going on and feel comfy asking questions to clarify the situation.
Cheers
