Cartilage torn again: If you are feeling generally unwell- fever, sweats, rigors etc then you need to seek urgent care as this could be an infected joint. If you are otherwise well and only the knee is sore then most likely you have got another torn meniscal cartilage. If your previous cartilage was repaired they can fail late. You can also get degenerative changes(arthritis) that can lead to cartilage tears

Meniscus: Appears my friend that you may have another meniscus tear. Or it be arthritis setting in. See an orthopaedic doctor for help. Till then NSAIDS, ice and rest.
