Next step of escalation: Get an MRT scan to image the low density 'soft tissue' inside the knee and find out what causes the pain / grinding sounds. I need to get this thing fixed so I can ride my bike again and get rid of the unnecessary energy storage (a.k.a. FAT, life-belt ...) I've gained during the biking-hiatus. My Doc suggested taking 'Diclofenac' pills... but the possible side-effects of these are quite horrendous. The x-rays didn't reveal too much - and I didn't get a chance to make digital copies. The gap between the bones is clearly visible and seemed wide enough. At least there don't seem to be any fragments of non-cartilage-material in there.

I fell off my bike due to ice on the road. My left leg / hip took all the beating. Although I remember hitting the ground with my shoulder and head as well, nothing hurts there. Wearing a soft cap might have helped there and maybe my ribcage cushioned the fall. Tomorrow I'll go hunting for discoloured bruises.
