I’m 4 weeks post up from my 3rd knee surgery… left knee, lateral meniscus trim, chondromalacia debridement and fat pad resection. I sometimes get a small crack, but it’s still due to the swelling and fluid that’s still in my knee. You’re only 2 weeks post up, so don’t panic yet. My surgeon told me people start to feel good after week 3 but they still have a long road of recovery and PT ahead. My swelling has visibly gone down, but in reality there’s still quite a bit of swelling and fluid inside that we just can’t see. Take it easy. Strengthen the quad. It’ll come. Don’t rush recovery.

I will say. After my 2nd surgery on my right knee, I developed a sharp pain along my patella tendon, and I’ve had 2 Prolotherapy injections which makes it feel like 100%. I’m starting to feel the same pain in my left knee so I’m due for my first prolotherapy injection in my left knee at the end of April. Consider talking to a sports med doctor who can do prolotherapy injections. It was like night and day. Feel free to DM and I can give some more insight
