    Yes, more so in the first few weeks. I still get it a little now at ten weeks, but it is much reduced. It seems more likely to occur later in the day than the morning.

    I never experienced the clunk. Not a good thing. What has your dr said about the noise. Sometimes it can sort of pop which is normal. Be careful with all the restrictions for a few more weeks.

    hi sandra, 

    I am trying to imagine the clunking in the groing area ... 

    Only clunking I experienced was when my PT rotated my hip to check my range of motion ...so clunking was around hip joint ...

    when does your clunking occur? is it painful?

    please  let us know okay ? 

    And how are you doing otherwise?

    big warm hug
