    Welcome to the Click and Clunk Club. It happens and then goes away for awhile...only to come back. Usually it's normal but if you get a lot of pain or feels like it's out of place, have it checked just to be sure.

      Thanks. I hate I feel good then bang ice again, swelling and life is nothing. I'm such a go go person and now haven't even been able to shop for Christmas

      I worry when I have set backs that something is very wrong then I get stressed. 😓

      I hear that. I'm struggling with sciatica in my hip which spreads down to my tkr knee. Very painful and frustrating. I can't shop for everything online!

      Has anyone had the misfortune to need several tkr? So far I had 4 in left leg. Following a fall it will be replaced 5th time I've had enough

    Creaks, pops, squeeks, clunks...whatever.  Could take 12-18 months to resolve...or never at all.  Personally, I think I'll always have the sound.  Small price to pay to be walking pain free.

      Yes for sure but I'm now about infections.  I have an ingrown toenail and I just read that could b not so good, also I think I have a gum infection. I'm a mess lol.  Seeing the dentist tomorrow.  

      Do you know how u tell if ur knee is infected?  My knee is really swelling right now. Feel like I have had another set back :-(
