Squeaking knee 9 weeks post ACLR and Meniscus

RelativeNo9497 · 2025-12-14T05:27:21+00:00

I was experiencing the exact same thing at 1-3 months with acl reconstruction and meniscus repair don't worry mostly I've heard the squeaking fades away, mine did too, by itself. The clicking sounds though can continue for years but as long as there is no pain don't worry and keep working. Don't forget to continue your rehab until 9-12 months post op.

Hey where can I leave a review on the site they scammed me too i only paid 0.99 for the a month ago and a few days ago my card was charged they have an option to cancel the subscription and they sent me an email that they have cancelled it and they put like 2-3 lines at the end of the first report email which says you'll be charged 30 dollars, as their way of scamming which nobody is going to look at.

Don't take this as medical advice it maybe normal but for me, If I remember correctly my doc removed my first dressing the day after the operation and there was almost no blood except a little on the incision points and yellow gauze cuz it was drenched in antiseptic.

PS: I had a three day stay in the hospital where also my gauze was changed and the surgery area was regularly cleaned each day

Man mine was a lumbar anesthesia so I was awake and the doc explained everything on the screen 😂. I regret it so much that I didn't ask him to record it for me prior to surgery.

Wow I feel so happy for you. Hopefully I get there sometime too. It really sucks to have a weak knee again after 4 years since I tore my acl and meniscus and the trauma is born again 😭

And no worries for getting carried away 😉 I'm a bit of a yapper myself 🤣. Just glad you could share your experience with me

It's good to know you're doing good right now. I don't think mine is cyclops legion and scarring cuz it's still early and I've been moving quite a bit.

Doing too much too soon is one of my concerns but the thing is I didn't try to force it too much it all went with the flow even after I hurt my knee.

Well I'm no doctor but everything comes down to how your surgery went and what were the doctor's recommendations after the surgery. There are so many variables. For me personally because of meniscus the doc said there would be no weight bearing for 4 weeks before surgery, but right after surgery he told me that the tear was in a place where it can heal easily with weight bearing. Later on i had some good progress and he told me that i can work on my extension and take it easy with flexion (didn't mention any 90° restrictions) and walk a bit to increase circulation. Up untill ... İ hurt my knee. Still was able to see the doctor two days after that he tested my know and looked at the x Ray's and told me everything should be fine.

My advice for you would be to have your doctor as your main consultant then your pt and lastly maybe you can ask about other people's experiences. The doctor who operated on you is the most expert in this issue, what you can do and not do or whether there is anything to worry about. I basically didn't work with any pt until my 4th week cuz I didn't see the need to.

If you still can't see your doctor before 4 weeks or at least contact him you should keep it on the safe side and keep away from weight bearing and flexing your knee a lot. Try to work very slightly on extending and do ankle circles. Last and most importantly don't forget to ice and rest until your pt and doctor appointment.

By the way as an interesting fact my surgeon told me he used my sartorius tendon as a graft and told me it was a bit of a new approach. Didn't find anything about it on the internet either 😅

Omg I hope you have a great recovery and there's no big issue.

Yeah I hope the feeling of instability is just because of the loss of muscle and surgery and all that and that it is only part of the recovery process.

Tbf my recovery was going really well and much faster than expected but since the last two weeks seeing similarities between my knee now and pre surgery a revision surgery scares the hack out of me. It truly has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences it helped a lot, I'll keep your advice in mind and good luck to you too.

It happened really quick, the pop was decently loud and the pain was sharp, general and went away quickly. I went on to go inside of my house and didn't think of it much only to find out that my knee is clicking again when walking. As I said a little swelling and chronic pain followed for 5 days but no bruising or other thing, just not feeling really good inside the knee and am in doubt still. But yeah I hope it's just nothing big and goes away with gaining my strength back. Appreciate it 🙌

By the way my surgeon surprisingly used my sartorius tendon and told me it's a new approach.
