In February, I tripped over something in my living room and fell down, my entire weight landed on my left knee. Never had a knee injury before in my life until now. Went to my primary dr, who said let's wait 2 weeks, call back if it's not better. Two weeks go by and it was WORSE (every movement, rather than just certain movements, caused pain). He ordered an MRI and referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. At the ortho surgeon's office appt, I didn't see the dr--I saw a PA who gave me a cortisone shot (actually methyprednisolone) in my knee and said call back in 5 days if it's better or not better. Five days go by and it's the same. I call back and tell them this. Finally I'm scheduled for arthroscopic surgery on April 10. Now my question. This dr, I now find out, only does surgery two days out of the month. I have a chance to go to a sports medicine group of 4 drs who I'm told, are good. Should I stay with the same dr who doesn't get much practice operating or switch to one who operates nearly every day? I know I have multiple injuries within my knee that need to be fixed with arthroscopy. My insurance allows me a second opinion, but that might result in waiting even longer during which time I can't do much physically (I'm NOT an athlete--just a 56 year old woman who lives alone and has no family for help for support) right now. Also my fear is that the possibility exists that he might miss something, not fix everything that needs fixing and I have to live with the results for the rest of my life. HELP!! I don't know what to do. Even requesting a second opinion means records need to be transferred, etc. I just want to be sure I'm in the best hands. BTW, my dr has 4 stars on healthgrades, the group that's supposed to be so "good" has 3 stars.
