Hello,

I have studied your case.

Cartigen contains cartilage protecting medication like chondritin sulphate and glucosamine sulphate, so you can take any one of them..

If required MRI of joint can be done and if there is severe destruction of menisci then arthroscopic shaving can be done.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.

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.
