Hi there, I had left knee tkr on 9th December 2019. 63 years old. I’ve been progressing slowly but well with pain free walking for first time in more than 10 years. Now I’ve developed painful symptoms on inner side of knee. I think it’s an injury to the medial collateral ligament. Not sure how or when but there can be catching sensation and it is painful when straightening knee, particularly if there is a slight twist. Also have tender spot. If I am very steady, slow and careful, no pain. It’s hard because I have to move in slow motion to avoid pain.
I’m resting it at the moment with pain killers and basic strengthening exercises to work on stability. Understand that patience is needed but I’m wondering whether to go back or contact my consultant. Just wondering if anyone has advice about Medial Collateral Ligament pain or similar. Thanks
