You wrote that your PT wasn't very helpful. I was wondering what he or she said etc. Did he/she give you any treatment or recommend any exercises? Did you go thru the NHS or privately.

However if physio said that the surgeon may have to go back in and clean and tidy up it sounds as if the physio suspects that there may be some debris in the knee or needs looking it thru the arthroscope.
U could inquire about a scan. X ray will not show any tears.You may have patella tendinitis. Pls google it.
U need to go back to Ortho surgeon and seek more advice. If NHS will probably have to wat a while.
