It is completely curable.
Step 1 would be a thorough clinical examination to find the exact problem which is causing pain/instability in the knee.
Step 2 would be correlation with MRI findings and further plan of action.
Next Steps
As of now in view of marrow edema, use a long knee brace while walking and icing to decrease swelling.

It is curable
As of now, use ICE PACKS at least 2-3 times a day and Long Knee Brace.
After pain and swelling subside it's better to get clinical examination done.
