I developed pain in the knee in FEB 2018 ,so I consulted the orthopedician .The MRI showed the following 1- Mucous degeneration of ACL at meniscus joint 2- cyst 3- Subluxation of meniscus beyond the chondolar cavity 4- Thinning of articular cartilage I have been advised to stop running and high impact exercise. Can I ever RUN? Do I need arthroscopic surgery?
