Sorry but you will only make it worse (you
could even end up in a wheelchair) if you
either train now or rush the healing
process & yes surgery may not totally
solve the problem - you may still have
"weak" knees & be unable to continue
as an athlete.
You have to decide whether to do what you
are told & pray that it all works out
or do what you wnat to do & possibly
end up unable to walk. I had both patella
removed 30 years ago after 2 prior
surgeries on both knees & am fine but
there was never & still aren't any
guarantees.
I would suggest that you use this "down
time" to builkd up your strength in other
areas of your body &
look at your life,
your goals & reconsider them &
make some plans as to what you would do if
you can no longer compete, then if the
worst comes at least you're prepared &
should be able to handle it that bit
better.
