Knee Pain with Fabella: Alternatives to Surgery for Ongoing Issues?

Knee Pain with Fabella: Alternatives to Surgery for Ongoing Issues?

Hello, I have pain on my knee this pain now go on from 3 years. Back than I have done an MRI of my knee and was discovered even that I have an extra bone that is called “fabella”, and even the bone was more soft. Now I was to the doctor and without doing an MRI or radiografy ecc said that I need to do a surgery as is a patella issue. Can you tell me if I can do something else before going to surgery. Thank you

Yes, you can and it's very important : run away from the doctor that suggested surgery without even any new imaging !
