Question: I have a strained medial meniscus that still hurts when I sit for over 20 minutes or slightly twist my knee joint when I walk. What remedies do you recommend?
Email address: YYYY@YYYY

You asked for my XXXXXXX phone number: 000-000-0000 but now I prefer using my landline or home phone number instead: 000-000-0000. The email your sent me mentioned I can call you with more questions on my XXXXXXX phone; i.e., my iPhone, Android, etc. and I don't have such a phone. And that's the reason I prefer giving you my landline/home phone number instead. Also I don't know how to access text messages on my XXXXXXX or cell phone so I prefer using my landline/home phone.

So I'm asking if I can edit my phone number contact information. The email you sent that had my password you sent me mysteriously got lost in cyberspace while I was operating my email server. Please resend the email with the password you assigned me again. Thank you.

My comments/questions about your beginning 3 sentences:
If I have grade 2 or 3 Meniscus tear at what grade do I for sure need an MRI and what grade is considered the worst tear? I will be transporting about 3 or 4 loads of all different size artwork and displaying them at a one day art show and sale starting this Friday May 27 and ending Saturday May 28. I will not need to climb stairs. In your opinion if I follow all your instructions to reduce the Meniscus tear pain and I am very careful not to hurt myself; do you think I can attempt to display about 35 pieces of artwork on 5 large easels standing on the floor and smaller easels to hold-up smaller framed artwork on a large table plus other smaller artworks?
1. I can wrap a hot electric heating pad enclosed in it's cloth cover with a wet thin sponge to provide wet heat. Is that what you mean by hot fomentation?
2. Is Tablet Brufen the same as Ibuprofen Tablets USP, 200 mg.? I have almost 300 of 500 of these tablets left with an expiration date of May, 2013; do you think they are still safe to use?
3. My HMO provider is Kaiser Permanente; can I get steroid injection and Volini gel local application from them? Yes I will avoid squatting, cross leg sitting and stairs.
I think your right that I need surgery so I will schedule an MRI ASAP. I had a Meniscus tear surgery on the other knee many years ago. And my guess is this current tear is very similar.
Thank you Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
