So what has happened so far ?
The insurance company (ACS) sent me an email that my torn meniscus root shouldn't be treated by surgery until 4-8 weeks of "conservative treatment" had been done.
I've had three weeks of PT with all you can throw at it, Ultrasound, TENS, Laser and heat treatment and it has now gone five weeks since the accident. DR, Bancha says that surgery should be performed as soon as possible and another orthopedic surgeon that I consulted for a second opinion agrees, not the insurance company though.
I don't want to have surgery if it's not needed, nor do I want to wait longer if , in the end, I have to have surgery anyway.
Not being a medical professional one is put in a very difficult position when doctors and insurance companies don't agree.
