“I need an MRI with contrast to determine if it is indeed a tear.”
Really not much that you can do at this time until the MRI confirms it. I’m not familiar with the procedure and since I’m a chiro and not an ortho surgeon I couldn’t offer you much any ways.
There is a med school at the U of Victoria so you’re in an area where there should be some high quality ortho people who would be familiar with the latest procedures.
