Re: "I'm going for an MRI next week... and maybe a cortizone shot when I see the orthopedist. The annoying thing is that it's finally improving and I'm feeling funny about getting the MRI when it might be returning to normal on its own."


That was last Friday. The MRI was Wednesday. Even the day before the MRI, I wanted to cancel it. My knee was improving quickly, or so I thought. My wife talked me out of canceling, noting that I needed to find out what was going on with it. "For all we know," she said, "it might feel better but be worsening. That's what was going on with my shoulder."

She was right, and I went through with the MRI. Got the result today. Won't talk to the orthopedist about it for a week. (He's on vacation.)

I figure those of you who have or have had knee problems might appreciate this. I dunno if it's serious. It sounds serious enough.

Impression
High-grade radial tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus involving the inner and middle third of the meniscus. Complex tear of the body of the medial meniscus which extends to the tibial articular surface with associated mild subchondral edema of the tibial plateau. Moderate to high-grade chondral malacia patella, involving the median ridge. at 4/23/2025 5:24 PM

Narrative
EXAMINATION: MRI KNEE WO CONTRAST LEFT (GENERIC) CLINICAL HISTORY: medial meniscus tear M25.562, Pain in left knee TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast MRI of the left knee was performed using routine sequences.

Lateral Meniscus: Low-grade horizontal cleavage tear of the body. Extensor Mechanism: Tendons, patellofemoral retinacula and iliotibial band are intact. Posterolateral Corner: Intact Posteromedial Corner: Intact. No Baker cyst. Bone: Intact with normal marrow signal. Cartilage: Patellofemoral: Moderate to high-grade chondromalacia patella, involving the median ridge of the patella where there is full-thickness chondral cartilage loss and mild penetrating subchondral edema.

CTJ:

Re: “Walked 3-5 miles a day.”That's pretty extreme. Safe to say, I'm not going to do that. I injured my knee in January. I'm going for an MRI next week... and maybe a cortizone shot when I see the orthopedist. The annoying thing is that it's finally improving and I'm feeling funny about getting the MRI when it might be returning to normal on its own. But it's still stiff, popping and sometimes hyperextending. I think I want the doctor's advice.
