Hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with MRI of knee.
As you knee makes click sound and also as per doctors clinical examination says you have cartilage issues, an MRI will help understand better. Post understanding the soft tissue status in the knee joint, physical therapy shall be tried. As it will help to regain the full ROM and Strength in the knee joint and muscles. Also, with physical therapy one can get even the overall body benefits too.
In my clincial practice, patients with cartilage damage undergo intense physical therapy to regain the functionality back
