Hello , I had a history of pain in my right knee from 5 months , this happened during a foot ball match . After taking celecoxib , calcium supplementation , Vit B complex and a muscle relaxant for 6 weeks , I did not feel better so , I had am MRI which revealed myxoid degeneration of posterior horn of the meniscus of right knee . Is this degeneration is reversible by drugs ? Or I will need a surgery ? Will I be able to play foot ball again ? What is your advice to me ?
The degenerated meniscus will have to be removed surgically. It is usually done through an arthroscope, a small endoscope inserted in the knee. It cannot heal with medicine. You will be able to play again. Please consult an orthopedic surgeon.
