Dude, you're fooling yourself. The sooner you get it done the sooner you'll live life to the fullest again free of pain. I had to put surgery off for over a year because of Hurricane Katrina and also my wife being preagnant and on bed rest. We already had a 4 year old so with her on bed rest I had to carry the load of our daughter and daily routine.

Find a good doctor and get it done. It will not improve and in fact will likely get worse with your "aggresive gym workout and stretching". Ask me how I know....
