Vikram Mehta, a 58-year-old accountant, had always been an avid weekend hiker. Over the past six months, he noticed a persistent, dull ache in his right knee, especially after long walks or climbing stairs. Recently, a sharp, catching pain had started, making it difficult to fully straighten his leg. His primary care physician, concerned about possible osteoarthritis or a meniscal tear, recommended an X-ray of his knee to assess the joint space and bone structure. Vikram felt anxious in the radiology waiting room, worried the X-ray would confirm his fear of a chronic condition that could end his hiking days. The procedure itself was quick and painless; the technologist was gentle as she positioned his knee. The results showed moderate osteoarthritis. While initially disheartened, Vikram felt a sense of clarity. With a confirmed diagnosis, he began a tailored treatment plan of physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments. His emotional journey shifted from fear of the unknown to a determined focus on managing his condition, allowing him to return to modified hikes with less pain.
