Kee Injury not healing

[bundleblocker]

I sustained a knee injury 3 months ago. MRI showed Baker's Cyst with debris, subchondral fracture, torn meniscus partially stripped MCL, joint effusion and near-complete cartilate denudation in the lateral patellofemaral joint.

Got a cortisone shot, which only helped a little.Ortho doctor called the fracture a bone bruise and said they take months to heal. The torn meniscus won't heal (he said)

Other than a "scope" what can I do to get relief! And a scope would only be a temporary fix, right?

I'm 77, and very active.

Thank you Doctor! Had some therapy when it first happened. Did help somewhat.  I'm wearing a knee brace and try to use a cane when walking. I guess I just have to be patient! I want to avoid any surgery if possible as I am on Warfarin for afibs and would have to discontinue that for a few days which is risky.

Hi!
You could consult your doctor and ask regarding physiotherapy and knee band/cap for support. Usually these two should be able to maintain your knee movement with minimal pain. You could also take a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory as and when required.
Sometimes debridement of the torn ligament and damaged cartilage helps reduce the pain. However, yes, it is not a permanent cure. Please consult all aspects of an arthroscopic surgery with your doctor. Take care!
