Hello,
I have studied your case and these are findings of arthritis. These are very common above fifty years of age and there is nothing to be panic about these. I would explain it in normal language.
1.You have tear in meniscus which is a shock absorber structure in knee.
2.There is damage to knee cartilage.
3. Myxoid change in ligament means that your ligament is also getting degenerative changes.
So i would suggest you following.
1. Avoid squatting and sitting cross leg.
2.Hot water fomentaion
3.Volini gel local application
4. Calcium and vitamin D3
Thanks
