    Hi
    Iam in my early 30,s and my right knee makes a real loud clunk when I squat down and stand up again.its 100% bones rubbing.
    I had an mri 2 months ago which showed a partial tear in my cartalige with a small knee effusion with a trace of fluid in hoffas pad and popliteal recess.
    I went back to my Gp and he just said I needed keyhole surgery and he was sending me to a consultant.
    I rang consultant office and they said I should have an appointment oct 2014!then another year after that for surgery.
    If I go private,what would it cost me??
    What accually can they do for my knee??
    My other knee is nearly as bad.

    I had my ACL reconstructed and cartilage repaired in 2009 and it cost Circa €6,000 in the Sports Surgery Clinic, Dublin my consultant was Ray Moran. What consultant is your appointment with?? Your time-scales seem very long, is that for a public consultant? From picking up the injury to getting op completed for me was 4-5 months.

    mine is public health.did your knee clunk?i avoid kneeling down,but when I have to,it does be sore for hours after it.
    I just got a copy of the mri report,still none the wiser except for the partial tear bit.
    The work I do involves heavy lifting an twisting my knees.i am really thinking about quiting it.......put my health first for a change.
