Suspected meniscus Tear, MRI "no internal joint damage"
Discussion
Had issues with my right knee for nearly a year now.
Haven't been able to drive for almost six months as the pain has worsened. Even a passenger journey in a car has me in agony after 20 minutes from the small movements in the joint.
I had a private consultation with the top knee man in the area and he said cartilage as did my GP.
Paid for an MRI and they've reported back "good news, no sign of damage "
Going to be new year before I see the consultant again, what the hell happens now and what else could it be? I've been resting it for months and the pain continues to grow. Sleep is elusive and I can't work. Any knee experts On PH?

Sorry only getting to reply now.
Was rear ended on the motorway about 3 years ago. My leg was locked out standing on the brake pedal upon impact and it was sore for a few days after. Fast forward this time a year ago I started in the gym 4 days a week and had some pain squatting.
Laid off the leg work for a month and all was well for a while until it flared back up around April. Around this time I started doing a LOT of driving with work. Got to the stage where 20 mins driving had me stopping for a break.
Around August I stopped driving altogether and the pain hasn't subsided. I had a 90 minute car journey as a passenger for the MRI which had me in agony for 2-3 days.
The machine was a modern Siemens unit, best in the country apparently.
