A member asked:
Mum has inflamm arthritis had knee mri "loss of cartilage, subarticular stress pattern + large joint effusion" is this long term change? pls explain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, changes like: those you describe usually do not improve. Once cartilage is damaged, it doesn't repair well. The inflammation and the joint effusion can be controlled with medication. Surgical intervention May also be necessary. Always talk to your physician for a plan.
