Left knee - Uneasiness, clicking
August 2016 - Sprained my left knee in a trek 6 months ago, got treated through - antibiotics, anti-inflammatory meds and hot packs for 15 days. Doctor had said if problem got worse, would need an MRI. It didn't.
March 2016 - Started to feel slight discomfort in the left knee - felt like it wasn't aligned properly. Felt there was a slight clicking (no sound) while walking. Got MRI done. Here's what it says:-
"Minimal joint effusion.
Grade I intrasubstance degenerative changes in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus extending into the menisco-capsular attachment withough obvious communicating tear.
Grade I intrasubstance strain in the ACL."
Please suggest what I should do now. Have been wearing a knee cap for the past couple of weeks.
