Is this par for the course after 8 months?

Hi folks

Just been reading about clunking of the knee from another poster. I have had this from the start . Otherwise I think I have been doing quite well. Go to gym,swim,can walk a reasonable distance unaided. But I can still feel the knee. Sorry if this is petty but is it normal to feel small amount of pain after this length of time. Will it still be healing? Or is the clunking,a feeling rather than hearing,a sign that the knee will deteriorate more quickly than normal? I have thought about getting an x ray through my Westfield insurance. Any thoughts appreciated.

    Five months and still clunking. My brother in law is almost three years post tkr and still can occasionally feel / hear the clunking. I guess it's just the way it is. No pain really just kinda weird feeling. Meanwhile keep up with all that's  been said before. Good advice from all.
