Knee pain in 1 year
About 1 year ago, I had a knee injury, in which there was no pain or swelling for the first 2 months, after that mild pain started, then I showed it to an orthopedic doctor, he suggested mri, in which medial meniscus posteriyer horn grade 2 came. I took advice from my doctor and other doctors, everyone said that nothing will heal with time, keep doing exercises, after that I got repeat mri done in May 2022, in which the grade was not big but some mucoid degeneration showed and along Mild oa chages have come in patelo femoral joint, still I am not able to stand for a long time, pain starts, I am not able to walk for long distances and now I am feeling difficulty in climbing stairs for the last few days, I have also started physio. It has been done for 15 days, the pain has reduced, but the discomfort and this problem has persisted, Bhopal's Orthopedic Dr. Sheetal Gupta and AIIMS Bhopal's doctor says that get physio done, it will be fine, please give proper advice.

Usually, grade 2 posterior horn medial meniscus injury doesn't require any surgical intervention.
The pain may be associated with degenerative changes seen in knee joint.
If there is significant pain, you may go for diagnostic arthroscopy to assess the joint condition from inside and if needed joint debridement and partial meniscectomy may he done..
Next Steps
Continue Physiotherapy for joint strengthening exercises till that time. Take analgesic SOS, take calcium and vitamin d supplement..
