Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
Removing the cartilage has made the knee bones to come near due to loss of cushion like catilage. That leads to loss of lubrication and every now and then u get such painful episodes.It can get cured by taking cartilage strengthening tablets.Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
I suggest you get an Xray or MRI done to find out exact cause.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
