Ann-
Your knee has hope!
I'm currently recovering from knee surgery.
Part of the process was repair to the cartilage, along with a ligament replacement.

I found out the cartilage on one of my knees is gone. Not sure that can even be fixed? It sure hurts.
I'm not sure what other procedures there are or exactly what your diagnosis is, but for me they went in with punches and hammers, 'microfracturing' the faces of the bone. This instigates new cartilage growth.
It's not a quick *in there and back into the field* kind of thing, but it's a solution none the less.
PM me if you want and I'll get you contact information for someone to discuss this with, or at least get a referral from.
