MRI Results

I forgot to mention this, but I got into the doctor’s office last week for another follow-up, and he had me schedule an MRI for my right knee. I had the MRI done this past Saturday morning, and I got the results this afternoon. The verdict is in: I have a torn medial meniscus, and a ganglion cyst on the lateral aspect of the knee. I spoke with the nurse, and she was reading the doctor’s notes, which didn’t indicate anything more specific.

I have an appointment scheduled with the doctor tomorrow afternoon (weather willing). I will get the full details at that time. Of course we’ll also discuss what to do next, but it sounds like the next step is going to be arthroscopic surgery. By the way, I am totally okay with that at this point. I am just ready to be done with it, and hopefully get back to running.

Does anyone have suggestions for questions to ask? (Of course I already have a list in my head, but I need to start heading home now, instead of typing those up.)
