Hi I posted this in the main and did not get much of a response and upon some reflection decided that I would probably do better to hear from women who have had knee problems than the "boys"....soo

Does anyone know what other options are available for diagnosing knee disorders (probable torn meniscus) when MRI is contraindicated?

I have heard one option called an arthrogram....has anyone had this? Is it painful? Are you awake for the procedure? Is there anything given for anxiety? how soon can activities resume? any information would be helpful where this is concerned.

Also, has anyone had any experience with prolotherapy? mensiscus tear surgery?

I am consulting a physician and seeing a physical therapist but wanted to have some homework done before we met again as well as some first hand testimonials for my own peace of mind.

thanks for the help,
