Thanks for the reply Sequence.

I can remember the surgeon coming around after the op when I was still groggy from the anesthetic and saying the cartilage was damaged but couldnt remember what he said he did. With the doctor saying they had to remove something yesturday this seems to add up. I shall wait for the physio as they'll have the notes infront of them and i'll post a follow up on here next week.

Thanks again
