Any TKR graduates out there with noisy knee?

First question is that I recently contracted Covid at 14 weeks post TKR. The first few days I was sick and had a high fever however then I just had a lingering cough and stuffy nose. Been trying to keep up on my exercises and riding my bike.
Second question is that my knee is sore and sometimes hurts but that tight band feeling I have had is almost gone,. Even after exercising it's not bothering me much anymore. Maybe because for two days I did nothing but stay in bed, I did get a doppler on day 2 of covid and tested negative for any blood clots (calf pain) but now I don't have much of that anymore either. The only thing that really bothers me is that my knee is sore and it clicks when I walk. Does that sound normal to anyone? Hopefully the knee soreness goes away. Surgeon told me in an email from here on out if I have pain or need mediation to see my PCP unless something was really bad. That did kind of bother me because he did the surgery. I feel as though now that he's done his thing he wants to be done and have others take care of any post op issues or questions. Thanks for any suggestions.

I hope you are recovering well from getting Covid. Might you be able to return to a physical therapist for guidance about the knee?
