'Twisted' knee
Posted , 12 users are following.
I am coming up for the six week mark and wondered if anyone else had/has pain in their knee? My knee is perfectly fine (as in no previous medical problems) but it hurts quite abit when I walk and feels as if has been twisted or has been damaged??!
I did not have this pain at all for the first four weeks.
Has anyone else had this? Could it be swelling? Or something else. As always your wisdom is invaluable, and I would rather not bother anyone about this unless it is important.

Hi mate, how you holding up? Have you ever run/jogged? reason I ask is that my knee was painful and still sometimes gives me jip after too much rest or walking and the only pain I have had that compares is like a shin splint pain (even though it's in my knee) I used to get when I had been running or even walking too far in flat shoes with no arch support. Advised it is deferred or compensation pain so I am not unduly worried, but as you have xray booked, better to check. BTW, you are lucky to get PT, we get nowt!! Best wishes

The pain in my knee was brutal. Had it x-rayed and surgeon said it was okay. If I mistakenly pivot, I get a sharp pain. The pain used to last longer and I was limping. I'm hoping it will ultimately dissipate. I definitely underestimated how this surgery would affect me. It does take time and caution. The other day I squatted without thinking and when I got up I realized I should not have squatted. I was delighted that I felt no pain whatsoever.
Best of luck,
Georgette

Check your IT band and also check for glut tendonitis. Find a great manual physio and get an ultrasound to pinpoint. i had the same thing pre op. acupuncture solved the problem fast. Now I'm 3.5 weeks post lateral surgery and my knee is hurting, i already know it's not the knee, it's the IT band overworking from trying to get back on my feet.
