Need Advice On MRI Results.

I recently had a MRI on my right knee but waiting for results. My doctor is out of town and today my right leg has pain from knee down. It's very tender to touch. The doctor thought I had a Meniscus tear. Today my leg is swollen which is a new symptom.
I have a copy of the MRI on a Disc.

Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
If you are having problems, I think you should go and consult another orthopedician. You can get symptomatic treatment till your doctor comes back and show him later with the report for final treatment. Meniscal tear may need surgical correction but MRI report has to be there confirming it and the grading of the tear. You can take the MRI disc to the orthopedician as some good orthopedicians can figure out changes in the MRI on looking at the images itself.
Hope it sorts your problem and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Pankaj Nagori
