A bit of a strange one this, had my TKR 1 month ago, going well, walking round house unaided, joint bending well, but I’ve noticed a fairly loud knocking noise in my new joint, if I sit in a chair with my foot flat to the ground and gently rock my knee from side to side I can hear a noticeable knocking noise , is this normal, sure it’s nothing to worry about , it just seem strange ,not back at hospital for a few weeks , has anybody else had something similar?

    It more than likely the implant that is making the noise. When I go for a walk my knee constantly pops sometimes my daughter can hear while we are walking. I asked my surgeon about it and it was normal.

    Great to hear you're walking round house unaided after 1 month.

    My T K R is due on 18 April hope i recover to be able to get around gets you down after 6 moths of not being able to walk.

    So this is good positive news for me.

      I’m sure you’ll be fine, just put the effort in with exorcising and icing it, bought one of those freezeable sports gel pack about £15 , really good to mould round your knee, but make no mistake the first few weeks are surprisingly painful, but don’t shy away from getting it moving, it hurts but it’s worth it, I’m looking forward to getting back to work as a groundsman, walk many miles a day so needs to be strong before I attempt it, but at the moment I’m delighted, a bit to go yet but the worst is over, just be positive and you’ll be grand ,I wish you well👍
