This is absolutely what has happened to me with 2 orthopaedic surgeons. I luckily persevered and found a surgeon who was not weight biased and operated on my knee that had a bucket handle tear, I was on crutches for 5 months due to the injury, one I sustained on a bike ride, something I do at least 3 times a week. The other surgeons refused to see my good health and exercise habits, one even sent me to a bariatric surgeon... I was horrified!
I'm Still recovering and have difficulty straightening my knee because treatment was delayed for so long!
