I had a scope on my knee last November and they removed plica. It was great. My knee quit hurting and I was so happy. Then in March I fell and landed directly and totally on that knee. The ground was soft and it wasn't painful at the time. BUT, since then my knee feels like it almost locks up especially when walking on stairs or hills or uneven ground. I have started wearing a knee brace and it helps. What should I do? The plica had made a groove in the bone. Did I injure it with the fall? Should I go back to the Dr? It is slowly getting worse, hurting more often.

    Hi Victoria, go back to your Dr.  You may require another MRI.

    I have been back to my surgeon twice after my surgery with complaints.  I required a further MRI to find degenerative issues which will never leave me now.  But I am all the wiser to why I'm still in pain, and what to do now to decrease  pain and nurture till the inevitable.
