<p>Clicking and Crunching following TKR</p><p>I am seven months post-op. A few months after replacement, knee clicking started when walking. The TKR was my fourth surgery on my right knee including an ACL reconstruction 25 years ago. My knee also makes a crunching noise when I stand from a seated position. MD said noise might be from scar tissue and will not go away but clicking should.</p>

Hello @mr11344, I've had TKR in my right knee about 20 months ago or so but I've not had any problems with a clicking sound. @ellerbracke @marield65 @nancylh and @rmeddings have mentioned clicking or crunching noises in a few other discussions on knee replacements and may be able to share their experience with you.

Here's an explanation of what's going on by two physical therapists that put it in layman's terms - Why is your Knee Replacement Clicking, Popping, or Clunking?

@mr11344 Four surgeries seems like a lot but it is over the span of 25 years. It must be disconcerting to hear crunching and clicking when you. It does make sense that you'd have scar tissue

You'll notice that I moved your question to a previous discussion related scar tissue after knee replacement. I did this so you connect with members like @golfshrink @wildebjef @acamel @janete718 @irol that have had similar issues in a central location.

May I ask if there are ever times that you do not hear crunching and clicking and if so, what is different at those times?
