General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Knee issues what you are having could be diagnosed by clinical examination, x-ray of knee and CT or MRI scan of knee joint.
Only after confirming about what would be the cause, appropriate treatment can be instituted.
In case you need to undergo knee surgery, it can be done by arthroscopy. So you need not worry about it much. Kindly consult Orthopedician for appropriate treatment.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
