Hi Debbra, I take 800mg ibuprofen 2 times a day. I may have pushed it too much, I do PT at home . I have been in 2 times to PT but mainly for advice on the snapping behind my knee as well. It’s good to hear it is early on... I read it take 10-12 weeks for bone, tendons and muscle to fully heal so more patience. I am still icing as well. So do they to do PT even if sore from previous day or as tolerated ? I know when I have to do my Right knee I will be much wiser! Thank you

@daner54 How often do you have PT? I only went two times a week, a half hour each time. My ortho gave strict instructions too, NO PAINFUL PT.
I am sure that as @debbraw suggested, the PT is causing the increased pain. I think every doctor has their own requirements for that.
