Hi welcome to HCMForum. The results of ultra sound suggest that both the knees are under stress. whether
surgery is required or not depends upon the personal examination. As you describe there will be no problem for
your practice of saucer. Besides i advise you some diet recomendations as avoid taking potato other tubers
tomato cauliflower coconut and sea foods. eat more of green leafy vegetables and pulses to build up resistance
and stamina. wishing for a quick recovery. thank you.
