Your clinical findings and radiological findings do match. However, since you have gotten better symptomatically, you can wait and watch. But if you develop similar complaints again then there is a high likelihood that it has not healed. The pain might come down again but id it keeps happening frequently and affects your day to day activities then you will probably do better with an arthroscopic procedure.
Next Steps
wait and watch for now. consult a sports injury specialist if it keeps on coming back. Stick to medicines that gave you relief for now.
