Respected Lybrate user. From the above mentioned details (mri). Very little problem is present in your both knees but don't be neglectd. Because in near future the all above's changes are converted into your knees arthritis. Please be careful. Take treatment for your orthopaedic doctor and take advices, precautions and preventive measures. In my side you are taking precautions, preventive measures, life style modifications, dietitian/nutritionist advices. Take diet chart. Ergonomical, postural corrections are required. Which tells your orthopaedic doctor. Or physical therapist. But don't be forget and don't be neglect.
