Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Honestly speaking, your MRI report of knee joint is very bad.
It suggests damage of all parts.
Meniscus is injured, patella and femur are also damaged.
And above all, there is joint effusion.
Joint effusion suggest ongoing damage. It also suggest possibility of infection.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done arthroscopic management.
