General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It sounds as though you may have torn a meniscus.

It sounds like you are doing the right things, and there is nothing particularly concerning about your symptoms, so I would suggest just continuing to rest it and let it heal.

The only treatment that may help at this point would be physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the joint to help support it.

Only if you had significant instability of the knee would an MRI be needed for surgery considerations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
