Get two opinions.

I shattered both knee caps in an auto wreck in '99.The doc who saw me in the ER later recommended minimal physical therapy.Bad idea.At some point I WILL NEED full knee replacements.If I had a better doc and done much more instensive therapy I probaby would've only needed a partial in my right knee.

Moral of the story: Get a 2nd opinion.How you walk later on in life may depend on it.
