Brief Answer:
All MRI changes do not need treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.At her age the common cause for her knee pain is Osteoarthrosis and Xray of knee is recommended to assess the joint status.
The described MRI changes have clinical value if they are associated with radiating pain in the legs along with numbness and tingling sensation.
Does she has that?
To help her in a better way please tell me -
1.Is there any chronic disease like diabetes?
2.Her height and weight and is she able to walk/stand on her toes and heels ?
Lookin forward to your reply.
Take care
