So when my boyfriend got out of bootcamp they told him he had a stress fracture on his right foot. He got his 10 day leave was home and on his foot the whole time. The Dr. put him on crutches for one week (??) and since then he has been on his foot the entire time. Recently they took an MRI of his left knee and found some ligaments or tendons or something messed up. They are saying he needs surgery. My man has wanted to be a Marine since he could breathe but the problem is, he is absolutely miserable where he is at now and cant imagine trying to have a a surgery and rehab here for the next 9-12 months. He is seeing guys have surgery and get more messed up than they were before they started. Does anyone have any information that may help him make a decision. He cant get answers from anyone on base.
