I could use some advice here,
My son injured his knee during gym class yesterday. An orthopedic specialist diagnosed him with a meniscus tear this morning. The doctor suggested he rest for a week, but if the pain doesn't subside by then, surgery will likely be the next step.
Has anyone dealt with something similar?
Is there any real hope that this resolves without surgery, or should I perhaps start mentally preparing for that possibility?
