Post Acl Surgery Knee Sounds After Therapy Posted: 05-30-07 10:19am
i had successful acl surgery last july
11th,
i went through about two months or more of
strong therapy, still going to the gym
sometimes to do it myself.
but lately i've been playing basketball,
and i know it's unadvised, but i've been
careful and haven't been running.
it wus all fine but i noticed my knee has
been making a cracking sound the past
week. i never injured my knee at all it
doesn't even hurt. i don't know what
happened. i read somewhere it may be a
swelling symptom but i don't know. just
wondering what it is. it only makes the
cracking sound if my knee is bent and im
trying to straighten it. . it makes the
sound right at the end of straightening
the knee. Thanks for reading.

i also have a medium size lump just below
my knee now, near my surgery scar, i don't
know why, it doesn't hurt unless i really
push kind of hard on it. the lump is the
size of a half dollar.

Might be cartilage. Not sure if an MRI
will detect it...but if I remember
correctly, you'll be able to identify the
cracking on an MRI.

i had acl surgery 6 months ago. my knee
recently started to pop and crack when i

and he doesn't know what it is either.

I had ACL reconstruction 1 week ago. I
started physicall therapy 3 days later.
Light workout, mostly stretching and
talking about therapy. Later that night in
bed I felt a pain like a pop. I got up
iced my knee and rested. The next day my
knee was very swollen and sore. My wife
and I went through the take home
exercises. Shortly after I felt like a
knot on the back of my knee and became
very difficult to bend. I also have
considerable swelling in my shin, it is
very painful and sore to the touch. Has
anyone else had simillar issues?
