Okay so it took me until your 3rd paragraph to realize this wasn't something I posted. My to the t, exact mri findings last week. I've not seen anyone yet, but am hoping soon to discuss options. I wanted to ask if you don't mind sharing, the options you were given, suggestions or references your doctor gave, and what injury caused it. I have had significant pain in my right knee for almost 2 yrs, kept just assuming it was osteoarthritis and aging process starting, no clue what I could've done to it, injurywise.

Waiting for my surgical consult so I'll have to get back to you on my options. I did opt for a hopeful "quick fix" that being a cortisone injection. The PA told me it takes about two to three weeks to reach it's optimum benefit and I must say that she is right. Almost three weeks out and my knee is feeling so much better! I do still want a surgical consult to make sure that I'm not masking anything and causing more damage. I do have arthritis, however, prior to being attacked by a neighborhood dog, while walking my own dog, and slamming down hard on both of my knees, I have never had knee issues. I'm hanging this one on the Labradoodle.
