I have had the same diagnosis but he won’t send me for an MRI. Mine came to the fore when I started playing cricket again.
I’m likely behind you as I don’t have the bag of pebbles feeling. It manifests itself as a constant ache for a couple of days at a time and a physio says there’s a chronic lack of stability in my knee, hence the two twist injuries I suffered last year.
I’m fine cycling. I wear a support for running and cricket and when I go hiking on anything other than well maintained trails.
I’ve managed mine with ibuprofen tablets and gel so far but I know it’ll fall apart one day. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Advantage of a small country. Urgent can be MRI in a few days, mine is in two weeks.
Cycling is still fine, hiking seems okay but we're really only talking a couple of hours in the forests rather than all day across rough terrain. Ironically, day to day life is the bit where it hurts.
I think I'll have to get a decent knee support. It was instability at certain times (like shifting a heavy box) that made me think something was wrong even before the pain

Doctor has diagnosed me (pending an MRI in the new year) with arthritis in my left knee. I had an injury as a teenager and the doctor told me I'd almost certainly get it earlier than I would have otherwise.
Other than keeping active and discussing the medical options, is there anything I can do to help mitigate it/live with it? Had the wind knocked out of my sails a bit so trying to focus on doing something than the possibility that the end of "doing something" years might be looming into sight.
