Incredible!
I am also revisiting this thread, as my old meniscal tear that was left unoperated on has strated to trouble me again after years of laying low. It has been suggested to have the joint tidied up at last, however, my consultant has since retired...
I am toying between getting myself on the NHS waiting list or roughing and toughing it out and keep using the knee through the pain and swelling... Swelling seems to go up and down like a yoyo and I haven't ridden my bike for a month now
