After speaking to our GP we found out the doctor is VERY conservatice, so now we are going for a second opinion to another doctor that hopefully will be more gung hoe to get the surgery out of the way since it seems as if it is very likely i wil need it anyways.
I thought cortizone helped with pain but it made it more sore than it was 
Damn doctors |
Personally I wouldn't be so eager to get hacked up if there's another option, IMO surgery is pretty much a last resort. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with it. I wish you the best though.
