Had arthroscopic to remove scar tissue for patella clunk on Oct. 24th. Hope it stays away. Will try doing stairs this week. TKR on May 8th. ITB still an issue but working on it.

Good luck with your recovery @dickiedo. I'm pulling for you on doing stairs - that is such a milestone! Hope the scar tissue stays away. Are you doing PT?

So you developed the clunk 5 months after your TKR? Are you back to normal now and how long after arthroscopy to clean out the nodule before you could see an improvement? I strongly suspect that is what I have but my doc refuses to look in there with the scope until I'm 8 months past TKR. I'm right at 4 months now. I am very bothered by my symptoms and feel it's keeping me from getting back to being active like I was before TKR that included playing pickleball. I would love to hear more about your experience and how you are doing now? Thank you. My name is Sara.
