Hi,

I have read your problem.

Your doctor is right as he advise you physical therapy and consider surgery if no relief occurs. You must do quadriceps strengthening exercise as uploaded on, once pain subsides. Try to avoid squatting and upstairs as much as possible.

If pain still occurs then you may consult your doctor for the arthroscopic menisectomy.

You may close the discussion and if possible you may rate 5 the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:

Let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
