Pain in right knee, Old football injury
I have had pain in my right knee since a sports injury 6 years ago. The pain has constantly been problematic while running and trekking, moreover I had to give up football for it. Of late, it hurts at the slightest stress, even crossing my leg.
This pain is on the behind left corner of my right knee. The MRI report detected a tear in the anterior horn of lateral meniscus. However, I have no pain whatsoever in the frontal portion of my knee. In a recent diagnosis I was told that the pain is in the medial head of gastrocnemius.
My question is shouldn't this injury have healed in 6 years considering my active lifestyle. Also, what is the probability of recovery and its process?

Hello mam, Meniscus tears might not heal easily as there is synovial fluid which ll keep the fibres apart,anyway it is better to consult an orthopaedic surgeon and take appropriate treatment. Thank you.
