Think you've answered your own post ? done too much Sunday? Back to basics for you. It happened to me regularly always when I thought I was healed more than I was 11 month TKR and I still ice morning and night and yes I have days when I do too much. Keep the faith pamper yourself have a glass of wine or chocolates. Tomorrow's another day a wee hug sent 💖💖💖

"...I was busy Sunday..." You just overworked the knee and paid the price. We all do this at least once. Learn the lesson. Get a pedometer and track your steps. Once you start doing that and charting them, you'll see the gradual increase. If it ever happens again, note the steps, back off and resume gradually.
I did 8,200+ steps at five weeks and got "Balloon Knee"...three days in bed. Once I learned my lesson, I increased to 11,000+ steps (5 miles) by the end of the 8th month without another incident. Pedometer...track...chart...learn.
