Left knee scope January 29th w lateral meniscus repair, plica removal and chondroplasty. Been having worse issues than before surgery. Finally got another MRI after I kept complaining. He tried cortisone a few weeks back which didn't help.
MRI after the cortisone came back and it says I have hoffa's knee/fat pad impingement and surgeon said there wasn't any sign of meniscus problems, however I read the report and it says...
There is new abnormal horizontal -oblique signal intensity extending from the lateral meniscus anterior horn-body junction through out the body which is consistent w non displaced tear. The report also stated it was new when compared to the prior exam.
My doctor specifically told me there wasn't anything wrong w my meniscus, but I'm reading different. The portion he fixed was the posterior part and report talks about the anterior portion. I have symptoms of locking when straightening and feel catching, which could be fat pad, but I still feel like I have a meniscus tear.
Thoughts?
