Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Subcutaneous edema means fluid accumulation in the cells beneath the skin. Bursitis is the inflammation of bursa and it may cause fluid accumulation in the surrounding.
Mucoid degeneration of menisci are normal age related findings.
you need to consult your orthopaedician for the findings.
your condition may be treated by conservative means.
Take care
