Answers:
Always get a second opinion, especially if you don't fully understand the explanation that was given to you by the first doctor. You are only 28 yrs, old. You need to know the risks of putting off surgery if any, any restrictions you might have to follow and so on. I would ask for a referral to see another doctor right away.Health Question & Answer
