What does this result mean?

Question

I just recieved my MRI results of my knee.I can't talk to my doctor until Monday. It says I have a small amount of central signal within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. At the bottom it says Tiny amounts of joint fluid. No other focal abnormalities were seen. What does this mean? I am nervous because I have to wait until monday to get answers. what are the treatments? please help!

I am NOT a doctor!

Sounds to me like first it stated the problem (apparently you don't have feeling in the back of your knee, or you have pain in the back part...)

Then it stated that it couldn't find any problem (since you have no fluid on the knee)

So, basically it is saying that you may be having pain or numbness but there is no real reason why you have this problem, or that the machine can't find a problem.

I say call the docs office and ask a nurse, or call your local hospital and ask them to decipher. There would be a number on your paper work to reach the MRI place directly too.
