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?

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.

View allMy calf size has shrunk by 4.7 cm in diameter and feels less rigid after my ACL surgery where they used a hamstring autograft SGT. It's been 25 days, and my operated leg still looks thinner and weaker with some swelling is this normal? They also did a partial meniscectomy on the medial side should I be worried about early osteoarthritis?
