Cartilage removal, meniscus tear and a lateral release on the patellar tendon - on both knees. Many moons ago now. I was given strong prescription anti-inflammatory drugs to try to avoid surgery but it was not enough.
Ask you doc about anti-inflammatory drugs as an approach - especially if there is small amounts of damage. That combined with rest may help.
