parameniscal cyst with no meniscal tears
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello all,
I had my MRI yesterday and received the report. One of the findings state I have a subcentimeter parameniscal cyst along the posteromedial margin of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. However, no meniscal tears are identified.
My follow up with the Dr is in one week, and was hoping someone could advise if this is something the Dr would normally fix without evidence on the report of a meniscus tear. My limited research found one or two articles of similar cases, and also mentioned that a meniscus tear (horizontal) doesn't always show on the MRI itself.
Backround
-Broken femur 15 years ago. Removal of femur nail, screws in knee and hip 3 years ago.
-hip impingement surgery 2 years ago.
-former runner, collegiate tennis, and skier.
Symptoms
Inner knee pain, popping, and more inflamation type pain with more acrtivity. Knee doesn't seem to move through normal motion. Pain on kneecap, lower knee, and inner knee. Seems difficult to stretch quad muscle, but stretching does help. Daily activities pretty limited at this point. Tried no weight lunges once which seemed to set me back a few days to none weight bearing.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Joe, I don't know your age but as a former very athletic woman, 17 years of jogging 5 to 7 miles daily and bike riding 20 to 30 miles daily for over 23 years , I have had 2 TKR, 1. 5 years ago and one. 11 weeks ago. I am in my 70's. I am doing well after a set back 3 weeks ago. Your story sounds like you might look in to. knee replacement. I didn't have a torn meniscus in my right knee TKR 1/9:17.

Hi Joe
I'm no doctor but what is your Orthopaedic surgeon saying?
If you've had tests done as ordered by your GP ask for referral to the Orthopods. You need a specialist to give you options.
Good luck
