I've done that on many injuries even through I've always had good insurance. Just hate going to the doc.

Healing is much easier when you're younger for sure. This thing wasn't going away and even the confident "I can PT a near full thickness tear to 90%" guy admitted defeat. Mine got progressively worse until I couldn't tolerate the near constant pain and affect on my sleep. I suppose not easing up on it didn't help...
