Hello , Looking at your query here, Yes, you definitely seem to have a MENISCUS tear and a scar tissue formation in your right knee. Now that your injury has been since 1.5 months i.e more than 5 weeks from now, you must do some Physiotherapy exercise for pain reduction, scar tissue management and bring your muscle actions back in your day to day life. 1. In terms of severe pain, start with some ice pack on your right knee and elevate your legs with 2-3 pillows (must be below heart level) for about 3 times/day for 15 minutes ONLY. 2. Do self mobilization of your scar tissue in the inner side of your knee (if pain is inner side) or outer side of the knee (if pain is on outer side) with a regular body cream or lotion to release the scar tissue and make it mobile to be able to move your knee while walking. (3 times/day) 3. Move your knee in pendulalybrate-userircles both clockwise and anti clockwise direction for about 50 times in sitting position with weight bearing on right side of the body more. Feel free to ask me further questions. Take care.
