In this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. William Kang — who plays and treats tennis players — gives you the exact questions to ask before agreeing to surgery, the truth about PRP and whether it's worth your money, and the recovery timeline reality that most players get completely wrong.

What you'll learn:

• The 3 questions to ask any surgeon before going under the knife
• Why PRP beats steroid injections for tennis injuries
• The "year after the year" recovery truth no one tells you
• How to read your body's signals before things get serious
