MRI report already in! And not pretty.

"Unfortunately, there are a lot of abnormalities here including a large amount of fluid, a cyst, and a torn ligament. We will refer to orthopedics as it sounds like these have been a chronic issue"

"This cyst measures at least 2.1 cm AP by 2.1 cm transverse by
5.3 cm craniocaudal". 5.3cm = just over 2"! I can feel the bulge.

"There is a complex tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus and there is a nondisplaced horizontal oblique tear of the posterior horn the meniscus". The PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) "...some signal heterogeneity proximally which may reflect a tiny partial interstitial tear or degenerative signal, chronic".

Guess I wait for my PA to call with a recommendation to an orthopedist.
