I have been doing physical therapy and have 2 weeks left for my patella but it's still not back to normal and it's been this way for 4 months now. I'm tired of having to do exercising that only work a little. I went to my doctor and told him about it and asked him about surgery, he said No, that it isn't required but I told him it's affecting the way I walk every day, not every single moment but a lot of times I can feel like I'm not walking correctly but it's not extreme limping but still this is limiting certain activities I can do, I stopped jogging because of this, I just stay in my bedroom during the entire weekend and just rest hoping it will go away but I also do the physical therapy homework and still the problem remains, this has given me freaking depression, I been depressed since it started, if I go to another doctor and he says No to surgery and this physical therapy isn't working then what the hell am I suppose to do? btw, I am tired of not walking correctly, I feel like an idiot and look like an idiot, I am embarrassing myself every day, this is depressing me plus it doesn't even feel natural the way I'm walking, I look like a limping idiot who can't even walk right
