Knee issue
I started feeling little knee pain after my squat excercise. Earlier I only feel knee pain while doing Squat and it disappear after few hours. But On 1st September morning I had my squat without weight and feel knee got little heavy, stiff, dump pain. I rested for 15-20 days and it got better. But On November 2nd I started feel little pain and weakness in my knee again as I have walked on uneven surfaces. Recently I did MRI and it as followings:
1)Grade II myxoid degeneration involving posterior horn of the medial meniscus
2) Fluid collection adjacent to the posterior horn of medial meniscus- ?parameniscal cyst/ distended medial gastrocnemius semimembranosus bursa.
3) Mucoid degeneration of ACL.
4) Minimal synovial effusion of the knee joint.
5)Minimal collection in deep infrapatellar bursa. What does this report means and how to evaluate my knee

The cause of pain is the mucoid degeneration of the meniscus which responds well to physiotherapy in the form of quadriceps/VMO/Hamstring strengthening exercises and some analgesics for pain.Once these muscles are strengthened sufficiently the pain subsidises.If pain still persists a trail with PRP injection should be given along with the above mentioned exercises.
Mucoid degeneration of the ACL is also reported but if there is no complaint of instability then it should not be a cause of concern.
Next Steps
learn the exercises I mentioned from any physiotherapy centre try for 3 weeks if no improvement go ahead with PRP injection.
Health Tips
The main component is the exercises which are generally not given as much importance as they deserve.Thank you
