Hi everyone.

I had my left TKR in January this year, although recovery was slow in the beginning, I have thankfully been getting on ok.

BUT, for the past week I have been hearing and feeling crunching sounds coming from the knee and its been aching.

Is this something I should be worried about?

Thanks everyone in advance for your advice.

    Hi,

    We had our TKR's around the same time, glad to hear it's been ok up to now. Have you been doing anything different or a lot more recently? I had a problem with mine a couple of weeks back after introducing a new exercise. It took a couple of weeks to settle, but is back on track now after I went back to icing and elevating.

    I'd give it another week, ice and elevate and then see your GP if there's no improvement. Good luck!
