Hi,
First up - I'm a newbie making my first post, please let me know if this is the right place!
I had a TKR in 2013 and recovered normally with no major problems so far. Around 2 weeks ago, I started hearing my knee click whenever I straightened it after it was bent for a while. There is no pain/redness/swelling and my movement is not affected, but it has been concerning me since it hasn't clicked like this since perhaps 1 year post op. (It has been sore this morning, possibly since I have been using a compression bandage around it for the past few days).
The night before this started, I was lying on my stomach and twisted around to lie on my back too quickly. I immediately felt discomfort (not pain) in my knee which lasted the night. The next morning the discomfort was gone but the clicking started and has persisted since.
Has anyone experienced this or something similar? What sort of problem could this be? Are there exercises I could do to fix this? I'm especially worried that the clicking is causing more abrasion than normal in my knee, which may affect how long it lasts.
I really appreciate any help. Thanks!
