My dodgy knee of a few months ago has (following a remarkable looking MRI scan result) been diagnosed as something along the lines of "defect in cartilage causing bone brusing and lesion (possibly related)"
i.e. there's a bit of cartilage in there together with the hole it came out of which is scraping the other bit, I guess.
Anyway, it's a day patient knee op in 4-5 weeks for me. A few previous threads seem to give recovery times of between a week or so and a few months. Anyone willing to share their own experiences?

Quit playing basketball ... well that helped a lot for me. Knee problems suck, and they don't seem to get better as we get older. The only thing of value I can recommend is to get a second opinion, I did last year and they convinced me not to get any surgery just yet. A little physicaly therapy, a lot of riding and no basketball, and things are holding up OK. YMMV. -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado (remove .nospam. if replying)
