Sore knees

    Afternoon all

    Around 18 months ago I hurt my knee after landing awkwardly from a throw in JJ. I had it checked out by a specialist about 6 months later even though I was back training after around 4 weeks. He told me I had damaged the cartilage, but, that it didn't require surgery and would continue to heal by itself. It hurts mainly when I bend me knee in a squat position incidentally!
    Unfortunatley though, I am getting the same type of pain in my other knee, although it only hurts when I squat or bend down. I'm thinking that this is just a consequence of being thrown and was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and if there is any way to protect the joint and limit the damage as I'm sure over the years it can only get worse!!

    Thanks
