Mri of knee
My friend in jan mri it showed grade 1 signal in posterior horn if meniscus. She did not take meds regulary . On May she again went as when folding knee completely or while getting up from sitting down or from squats there a bit sudden pain. She took meds but not regularly again. But she stopped gym and all high pressure activity since Jan . She slipped for 3-4 times but not on injured leg . When MRI dine again it showed grade 3 chondromalacia patella . Is this possible when no heavy exercise or gym were done. What to do now.
