hey pete - sorry to hear about your knee.
Sounds like you'll need those bits of cartilage removed, as they'll only irritate the synovial capsule around the knee. Usually, any foreign bodies within a joint space means that the body will try to reject through inflammation...
We try to encourage light exercise through low impact activity - to actually use up the fluid produced by the knee - followed by immediate icing and elevation.
My advice is not to take too many supplements that you're not used to consuming (we tend to go a tad crazy with dosage, and the body just pisses it out - just keep well hydrated!!)
