Have you brought this up with your surgeon? How do your X-rays look?

I'm 11 years post-op and just had an X-ray. My knee is in great shape, still in place, but I brought up that I occasionally feel a clicking sensation from time to time. I joke with my wife that my knee feels, "awfully clicky today."

I've been assured that it has nothing to do structurally with my knee. It could be scar tissue, or a weird sensation. This isn't to say that it's the same for you, that's why I was curious if your surgeon says the knee looks good and in place. If it isn't painful, I'd stick with PT exercises as directed! My knee, when bent, looks nothing like my normal knee, it is far more round looking.

Hi Justin,

The surgeon looked at the post op x-rays and said everything was good. The PA who is the person you get to talk to after that, just says everything is normal. It clicks if you put your hand there and bend the knee, in the morning there are spots that are sucken in. There is still pain. Somethings a sharp poke, others more of a sore sensation. I suppose it could have to do with the complicated popliteal cyst structure that formed post op. Maybe it is putting pressure all over in there.

As for exercises they left me with three. Leg lifts, lying on my side, bent knees doing like a bent leg lift, and going up and down stairs. Maybe i am just getting tired of it.

Thanks for the response.

Marield65 here. Funny you said that your replacement knee looks rounder than your real knee when bent. Mine does also. And clicks. I guess that is common for some people because I have asked anyone I know that had a knee replacement and some do have the clicking. I just ignore it now. Thanks for putting me in the normal category. I am 4 months post op and doing great.

ok, so maybe i'm partially normal. lol thanks for sharing
