Mri revealed tear in medial meniscus in right knee. doctor says that clinically there is nothing all pain is due to pfs. is that possible?

Yes: Your doctor relies on history and physical exam findings and imaging tests (MRI) to determine the most likely cause of your pain. Often there are subtle or minor findings on MRI examinations that do not turn out to be important. Many small meniscal tears are not symptomatic or at least do not require surgery.

Yes: An MRI is a tool we use to help determine the source of your pain. It is a very sensitive tool though, and sometimes, something that shows up on an MRI might not correlate with your symptoms and exam.

Depends on symptoms: Mri may show something not clinically significant. Exam by an orthopaedic surgeon will tell if this is the case. Many patients have changes on MRI that are not true tears. Pfs is a very common problem, treatment with therapy and exercises should help. Injection of cortisone may also help distinguish the two. Meniscal symptoms are more on the joint line not anterior.
