Question
Dear Sir / Madam,

This is Babak Ganji (PhD in Electrical Engineering). I really need your advice about my problem. Thank you in advance.
There is a small hole on right feet (10 cm upper knee). This area hit the table badly about 1 month ago but I am not sure that the hole is related to this hit.  
Report of my recent MRI is at below:

1- Bone narrow signal intensity appear normal.
2- No evidence of destructive bone lesion or periosteal elevation is seen.
3- Visible part of the muscles is unremarkable.
4- No soft tissue mass or collection could be detected.
5- No characteristics finding of muscle tearing or injury by MRI is detected.
6- Degenerative changes of the both knee joints are demonstrated.

Please let me know your advice about this disease. I really appreciate if you could lead me if it can be a serious illness.

Best regards,

Babak Ganji


Answer
Babak,
Please clarify :There is a small hole on right feet (10 cm upper knee)

Your MRI report is basically Normal..you have some probable age related changes (degenerative changes)which we all will have as we age, so if you are > 40 this would be expected to some degree.

So Im not sure what you are saying about the small hole though?
