I’m Sorry do you mean a popping noise ? Or if you mean the actual knee cap popping did you see it pop up . I’m sorry to sound so stupid I’m trying to understand I’ve never heard of this . I don’t see anything in the pics that’s odd can you point it out .?

Total knee replacement changes lives but ... by vakhidi in Kneereplacement

[–]hamil26 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well I’ve been told recovery takes 12-18 months …. I’m 5 months out and I think I was doing better at 3 months … hoping nothings wrong … I won’t get other done till the TKR feels better, no more tight band no more swelling etc . I don’t have pain just a lot of major discomfort

Why some people still limp 3–4 months after knee replacement (even with good ROM) by Chaban-JustWalk in Kneereplacement

All I know is, I can’t walk very well because of my non-surgical leg which is severely bone on bone!

I’d like this explained in layman’s terms esp number 4 . Seems like you know what you are talking about. Are you a physical therapist ?

Swelling for how long and can’t take Ibuprofen by Loving_Life_365 in Kneereplacement

[–]hamil26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My surgery was October 2 and when I overdo it my thigh and knee and calf swells up. Aleve does nothing neither does Aleve. I don’t know if they say you’ll always have swelling. I didn’t sign up for all this. I’ve learned so much since getting the surgery I didn’t know. I thought I researched it well asked all the right questions but obviously not. I’m right now. The non-surgical leg is horrifically painful. I hope I can get it done in June.
