TKR Referred pain?

Thanks everyone.

Yep, that clicking and thunking is all perfectly normal and to be somewhat expected---remember now that you knee is not made of soft cartilage any more---it is metal and plastic.

It should subside in time as the musculature around it becomes stronger and larger.

My TKR knee started popping a few weeks back, and I am 6 months post op. The knee was irritated/inflamed for unknown reasons. I was slightly concerned, but those funky clicks & pops went away as mysteriously as they came.

I think my knee is a bit inflamed too as it is swollen and sore on one side maybe because I might have been overdoing it with the gardening projects even though I was limiting myself to 2 hours per day with lots of rest afterwards. Anyways I am going back to basics- icing and physio and taking it easy to see if it will rectify itself. Also did see the doctor about my lower back and went for xrays; OA in my back and SI joint as well and going for physio for that too now. It does seem to be helping.

You're right. 2 hours a day of gardening is too much for your knee at this early stage.

Well done for recognising that and going back to basics. Don't forget to elevate while you're icing.
