[|Human|] Hello , weird....I have medial swelling and squishy sounding left knee. Dull pain always but sharp pain when under stress. Usually calms down on the weekends but fires up in the middle of the week. Yep , Im a construction worker , 48 years old. By friday , I walk stiff legged. Its just easier.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs. And MRI may miss meniscus tear, diagnostic arthroscopy can help and cure the problem. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG Andrews. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair, and same day you can go home. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
