A member asked:
I felt some pain and clicking in my knees, a specialist told me that i wore down some cartilage. will that ever go back again , to like it used to be?

No: It will not regrow. However, that diagnosis would be very unusual in a 23 year old. I would urge getting another opinion about the knee. See a rheumatologist or orthopedist again.
