Issue below the knee, very weird, pain getting worse

Posted , 2 users are following.

About 7 years ago, I had a sports injury. I was 13 at the time and had to have surgery to fix it. I broke the top section of what I believe is my tibia. Pretty bad injury, wheel chair for 6 months, rehab for 3, and full brace from my ankle to my hip.

About 2 months ago i noticed a pain i get when getting up from a chair. The only way I can explain it is like a fault line having an earthquake. Once I move my leg and bend my knee a to a point, it feels like what would be like pressure releasing, almost like a bone hitting another bone then snapping away from each other. It has been getting worse to the point where I stood up in pain and had to completely stop what I was doing. I consider myself to be above average for pain tolerance, as my sports background and construction work life goes.

I will be making an appointment soon to have It checked out, but would love to hear some thought on what this might be before I go in. Wondering if a bone spurt has grown from the surgery. I am in no way a pro in medical health, just concerned at this point. Thanks to everyone in advance.image
