Received a letter yesterday with results of my recent MR scan.they show a cartlidge tear in my L. Knee as well as marked inflammation in many tendons. I am on week 5 of methotrexate for seronegative inflammatory arthritis but nothing was said about treatment for the tear. I can't bend this knee properly and have so much more pain n swelling in this one than the other which is why the scan was arranged. I haven't done anything strenuous to cause this so wondered is it normal with RA to get this
So I have a tear in one of the meniscal Cartlidges - NRAS

Hi ChelleD
I agree with Allanah, call rheumy team or gp and ask what was said in your clinic letter about your knee. Could be that they are referring you to the relevant dept for it but forgot to tell you. Xx
