Knee replacement

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

Due to the medial meniscus tear, your knee could have become arthritic which is the cause of the pain.

Do get an Xray and upload it. You may need a knee replacement.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
