Knee Issue cartilage, meniscus, bone erosion

Saw this photo in an RA forum that popped upšŸ˜³... Identical to what ortho told me from my MRI back in November 2021 NO MENTION RELATED TO RA/D...going too see
Specialist to discuss operationšŸ„ŗ Anyone else had similar diagnosis? If yes, outcome of Op would be appreciatedā¤Thanks. Wishing everyone a good today and better tomorrow.

  1. , I do hope you get some helpful feedback from other community members that might have experience with surgical procedures on the knees. Do you know what specific procedure the specialist might be suggesting?

    1. thanks for responding. I'll meet with ortho to discuss details. Recovery 6-8 weeks depending on what they find. Wishing you a good today and better tomorrow.

  2. Are you talking about a synovectomy or a menisectomy? Both are common. I've had several in each knee. Recovery time is nearly instantaneous. You can drive the next day. Physical therapy starts the day the stitches come out. Easiest surgery ever.
