I just came from my three month check up and the doc assured me that the "knocking" which he called "tapping" was normal with the Stryker knee. He told me that this "tapping" is the noise it makes when it gives me range of motion, so I should be grateful for it---which was a bit much!!!
I think the knee is loose and that is why it makes noises. He claims that this is normal and that some people "who are less sensitive" don't even notice it or hear it. I hear it when I extend the leg and when I move rapidly laterally. It is not loud, just a noise. (Yes, I am sensitive and yes it is irritating!!!!!) When I am in a movie theater or someplace else quiet, I hold my knee stiff so that it does not make any noises. So far, my husband claims that he does not hear it--but I am not sure that he is not taking the path that leads to less craziness from me!!!
Does anyone else have "tapping" from their knee. the doc told me that it would go away "somewhat"--to which I replied, What, when it is not so loose? He just sighed.
