If your expectations are serious you need to get other opinions concern your injury and the prognosis. You need to talk with family, coach, doctor concerning your expectations. Depending on injury surgery could be a serious consideration when everything is taken into account. Good luck with your decision. If tendon is completely ruptured surgery should be considered as a first course of treatment
