I used to face knee pain and whenever I do physical activities like running or any other exercise like jumping etc I experience pain in my knee. Done my x ray and also MRI. MRI report says there is a stress fracture and subarticular edema is seen along medial tibial plateau. I would like to know what it is exactly and how I can get rid of pain and return to my normal activities and running. Kindly suggest me in detail. Thanks in advance.
