Knee Problems : You mention that you had meniscus surgery, but also note that you have had cortisone and euflexxa injections. Why ? At age 35 you are young to have degenerative changes. Complications covers a lot of things and usually implies that things didn't go as planned. If you have pre-existing arthritis then you are going to need to deal with that. Are you overweight? Really we need more information.

? MRI: Mri might be useful but not for sure and they are expensive not all surgeries lead to a marked reduction in pain / were their other issues in the knee too? Need more/ better data for decision making.
