A member asked:
Is knee cartilage damage painful? my knee has been feeling discomfort for 2 weeks, but it goes away when i forget about it. no pain, i can walk.

Depends: Knee cartilage damage can indeed be painful but this depends of the severity of the damage and your overall health and the time since the damage occurred. If you aren't having any significant pain then it's likely nothing to worry about, but do see a physician if symptoms worsen or persist.
