Something's damaged: Obviously something here in the cartilage has been damaged. This is something that may or may not ever heal. If it is not causing you too much pain and does not seem to be getting worse I probably would not pursue it. However, if it is continuing to bother you, I would go see a local orthopedist so they can do an x-ray and examine you.
