I have my share of injuries from football and other stupid teenager stuff and have historically found that pushing through the pain was the fastest (and often also the most incredibly painful) path to breaking through to the other side. But recently, with good advice, I'm learning that that trick isn't for this aging (well, early stage of aging) body any more. Instead, good advisors who know a few more techniques than my brute-force-solves-all approach have been showing me exercises that will let the muscles strengthen and compensate for the torn ligs & other worn out parts. I'm not anywhere near needing surgery thank goodness, but sounds like you too are way past "pushing through the pain without a license." Talk to Fred, see what he can suggest. He set me straight on my back problems a few weeks ago. Maybe he can help bridge the gap until surgery. Good luck. Ouch!!! Take it easy there!
