Knee pt or surgery

Based on a recent injury, and MRI finding, the ortho gave me 6 weeks of pt to do If it doesn't improve, he recommends surgery. I know there are many here that have rehabbed their knees. I feel I could put together my own program, and avoid the cost of pt. Any advice would be appreciated. I will be doing my own research, but the best place for me to start was to ask my friends here. I am not even positive that my hip isnt coming into play with this. It is the same side that I had my hip surgery on years ago

thanks

How did you injure your knee? At least they seem to think that surgery can maybe be avoided. Definitely you can be your own physical therapist. I think its better that way. Then youre taking an active role instead of depending on another person and setting an appointment and all that inconvenience.Sometimes you get a PT who doesnt know what the hell theyre doing. Have you done any laser therapy?

Pt will not fix but will strengthen around my knee. Probably will need surgery in the future but I will put that off as long as possible

I’m not 100% on how you Injured you knee nor the extent of the injury but have you considered giving some peptides a try like Tb 500 & bpc157 I’ve been reading up on these 2 compounds and these seem to work miracles on ligament tear, muscle tears and even some joint damage.

I haven't thought of this mostly because I have never really looked into it. I will do some reading up on here now though. I have seen others use this here. thanks so much for suggesting as I may just give this a try

Your welcome I just started messing with them sense I’m really pushing to gain size in my little time window. I can’t afford downtime due to a injury is why i looked into them and already seeing a difference. I felt like I was always hurting my self or feeling a pain when lifting heavy/maxing out now 0 pain or anything. Plus there pretty cheap as well

So when this injury happened I told myself " I will NOT let this set me back". I babied it for a couple weeks and am back to doing what I was before it happened. It is a pregessive thing and will probably need surgery in the future but I am not concerned about the future. Today I'm good. When it acts up I just modify. Havent done the pt
