[|Human|] Had an mri which showed early mucoid degeneration on the posterior horn of medial meniscus but no descrete tear and small joint space effusion and mild patellofemoral joint space narrowing latterally of my left knee. Thing is i also have pain on my lateral side of my left knee too which couldn t be explained from the mri, it could be from somewhere else i don t know but I have had a tight IT band and I also have mild patellar bursitis. I,ve had pain now for over a year, and the pattern is very unusual, sometimes I get pain when I,m just walking or even lying down and very rarely I would have training and no pain but it would usually appear after. Ive had physio which was focused on my tight IT band and a steroid injection into knee to see its affect after a month, it helped a little but it went back to what it was before. Im wondering what the next step in treatment would be? im 15, female, plays soccer,hockey,boxing.
