Hi, Im in the Police Academy and I just found out that I have a torn
meniscus in my left knee. It hurts like hell, and I cant run. But I
do not want to drop out. I want to stay in until the injury puts me
out but yet I do not want to jeopardize my career. I have a big
decision. But what I want to know is has anyone just fought through
the pain, without surgery? And I know there are two different
surgerys that you can have for this injury, which would you all
recommend, based on recovery and recurrence?

Any help will be appreciated or just if anyone can let me know their
story I would appreciate that. Im scared because Im so close to
fulfilling what I want to do with my life and this is keeping me
from reaching it.
Thanks,
Jeremy
