A member asked:

Doctor, my mri says "mucoid degeneration in the posterior horn of medial and lateral meniscus". please the treatment for this. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably surgery: This means that you damage your knee and the ligaments are deteriorating. The treatment is usually surgery. You need to see her Dr. and be examined. Good luck.
