Suggest Treatment For Cartilage Thining
I am 46 years old and my medical report indicates mild osteoarthritic change involving the patellofemoral joint noted. Cartilage thinning with bone exposure noted involving the medial patellar facet, measuring about 0.2 cm with reactive changes of the underlying subchondral bone. Hyperintense signal is also noted on the T2 and PD images within lateral patellar facet, however no cartilage thinning. The doctor has recommended me to to a scope. Would like to know if this is advisable and is this a long term solution. Is there any other way? How do i imcrease my cartilage. What can i eat to increase it?

Hi,
Cartilage cannot be regenerated, although its future damage can be reduced by modifying life style, although scopy is a good option but in case you don't want that you can try inj symvisc in your knee. It will reduce your pain and further degeneration.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
