A member asked:
Knee mri report: mild increased signal intensity of popliteal tendon, favor mild injury can you please explain and suggest course of action?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee sprain: Could be a minor knee sprain of this tendon, if this is the only finding on the mri, it sounds fairly minor. Also depends some on whether you had an injury to the knee or not. Mri's are based on fluid and increased signal can mean increased fluid in the tendon as can happen if there is an injury to it. Rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, ice it down (rice) can help if it is swollen/hurts.
