I've had knee pain for about a year now and just got my MRI results. It shows a Grade 2 signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, minimal joint effusion, and a Baker's cyst measuring 1.8x1.5x2.9 cm. Is surgery necessary or can proper exercises help heal this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's unlikely that surgery is immediately necessary for your knee pain, given the MRI findings. While the Grade 2 meniscus tear, minimal effusion, and Baker's cyst are potential sources of pain, conservative treatments like physical therapy and pain management are often effective, especially with these findings. Surgery is generally considered when conservative treatments fail or if the tear is severe and causing significant functional limitations.

I had a scooter accident 15 days ago and the MRI shows a full ACL tear, but I can still do most daily activities with minimal pain. Do I really need surgery or can I manage without it?
While you might be able to manage with a full ACL tear without surgery, especially if you're not highly active, the decision depends on your individual lifestyle and goals. Surgery is often recommended for athletes or those who participate in activities that require pivoting or twisting movements. Conservative treatment with physical therapy and bracing is an option for those with less demanding activities
