have you seen the doc yet?
Firstly start taking some glucosamine sulphur.
If your gp refers you for keyhole then you will literally be in and out and prob only need a day or so off work.
i tore my ligaments in my knee and although the nhs told me to have keyhole i went private and had a mri scan and was told not to have keyhole just physio, a year down the line and it healed itself.

I had a torn Cartilage last year, if thats what you have, then the recovery period should only be around two weeks, and you'll be able to carry on playing Both Squash and badminton.
I play Table Tennis to a reasonable level, and have no problems, My Nephew, who had the same thing, is back playing Rugby.
The thing to do now, is get it checked out, if your gp, sends you to a Consultant, don't settle for an X-ray, you need an MRI scan to see the full extent of the damage.
Real problem is the waiting list on the NHS, so if you can go private, go for it.
I wish you all the best with it, now get round to your gp.

sorry for the delay in replying to you .
thanks for your answers
It was confirmed that it is the cartilagle by a friend a few years ago (he is a physotherapist)
but it is only the pass few weeks that it has caused me any pain the best way to dicribe it is
If you sit in a chair with you foot just off the ground place your hand on the knee cap then slowly rise your foot to level with your hip.
As you do this you can feel though your hand the sensation of grinding glass. although this is not painful.
The only times it is painfull is when going from kneeling or crouching to standing up.
cheers
