I just went to see a different consultant about my knee, he gave me an examination and assessed the MRI scans in front of me.
It turns out I have severely damaged cruciate ligaments!
This is so much worse than the slight meniscii tears I had suspected and infinetely worse than the "your knee is completely fine" which every other doctor I have seen has told me.
Oh dear oh dear!
This also provides a reason why I may be getting the hamstring tendonitis, he said it must be working extra hard to stabilise the knee. It may have also significantly changed the mechanics of my knee. He also told me that if I am limited in the things I want to do, then cruciate ligament reconstruction via keyhole surgery is the only possible solution.
