Update on my left knee after the fall that tore my right hamstring muscle
Full thickness tear of the medial meniscus & severe arthritis causing the Lateral ligament [LCL] to get irritated by not tracking correctly...basically, most of the cartilage is gone and the meniscus is torn.
Only the radiology report from the X rays and MRI so far. My Ortho Doctor has not made his recommendation yet. His nurse laid out some possibilities based off the report but the next step is uncertain at this time

Wow. Yeah, it may be too soon for a full on replacement. Any possibility of resurfacing?
In your corner, m'dear. ☕🫶

I am waiting on an opening with my Ortho Doc to find out more. He may recommend things like that, physical therapy, a brace or even the injections at this time.
I'm a firm believer in trying to give my body a chance to heal, rather than aggressive invasive options first.
