Message: [QUOTE="Marsh01, post: 1647216, member: 473"] The issue was the MRI didnt show any tear. I had surgery on my left knee (meniscus) in 1998 and about a month and a half ago the back left of my knee bothered me. I had initially thought it was a Barkers Cyst but there was no lump or a fluid buildup. I can move up and down no problem. Laterally is where it hurts. My doc said there was a possible issue with the medical right side of my knee but I am not in any pain on that side and there isnt a tear. Its mostly arthritis he said. He is the one who suggested the cortisone shot and said in 3 weeks if its not better then we can talk about doing another arthroscopic on the knee to see what is the real issue here. I was all about the surgery and was hesitant to get the shot because I want the problem to go away forever (or years) as opposed to a few months. I am hoping that not having a tear will be the trump card and the shot will do its job. [/QUOTE]
