Sounds rough, DK - can you get any cartilage transplant, assuming there is such a thing?
You get used to it. I have the crucial ligaments of the right knee ripped.
I have heard only bad things about the transplant, i believe in the bodies self-healing abilities. So far, i only have little problems and regarding my athletic performance i do perform far better than untrained people with healthy knees.
Maybe in 20 or 30 years i will think about a transplant, if everything stays alright until then.
It could be worse, you could live in a third world shithole country and fuck nostrils.
