My MRI shows multiple meniscus tears. I've tried all other options besides surgery.

Yes I'm a senior, but I have a lot of life left to live and I'd like to start enjoying life again.

My surgeon is one of the best in the area and comes highly recommended from so many people I know. I trust him. He tells me I should not have surgery. Not even the most non-invasive Scope. I'm the kind of person that always follows my Drs. advise. He's basically said it wont help, and since I've tried everything else I'm just going to have to live with it.

This time I can't. I want to be able to walk again without pain and enjoy whats left of my time here on earth. He finally agreed to do a scope, but I'm left feeling very anxious about forcing the surgery. Has anyone else been asked o not have surgery?
