For me, this required more than 3 years to resolve on its own- basically I had to stretch and massage the site to eventually cause the adhesion to 'break.' It did not hurt. Minor pain, discomfort or cracking is most likely scar tissue adhesion between the bone and the incision site. now I also have a medium size lump just below my knee now, near my surgery scar, I don't know why, it doesn't hurt unless I really push kind of hard on it. It makes the sound right at the end of straightening the knee.
It only makes the cracking sound if my knee is bent and im trying to straighten it. I read somewhere it may be a swelling symptom but I don't know. I never injured my knee at all it doesn't even hurt. It wus all fine but I noticed my knee has been making a cracking sound the past week. But lately i've been playing basketball, and I know it's unadvised, but i've been careful and haven't been running. I had successful acl surgery last july 11th, i went through about two months or more of strong therapy, still going to the gym sometimes to do it myself. thanks for any tips, jeremy ap2487 wrote: Since it isn't very painful, he doesn't seem too concerned. Did anyone reading this thread find a solution? I've reported the problem consistently to my surgeon, and he's not able to figure out the cause. Normally its not very painful, unless I really hold my hamstring "strong". It feels as though there is a tendon sliding over the back of my knee, and snapping as it is pulled tight. It is now 1 year after surgery, and this cracking sound has progressively gotten more pronounced. I have a similar sounding issue with my knee cracking as it is straightened. My suggestion in case you feel the pain getting worse would be talk to specialist as the growth of the screw might just be in its early stage and get his opinion on that. I was given two options, one is to live with the pain and the second is to get another surgery and get that rubbed off and hopefully (fingers crossed) should resolve the problem. It is this extra growth of the dissolvable screw that is causing me all that discomfort.
Also as you say the more I pressed nearer to the scar tissue, the sharper the pain gets.Īfter much deliberation, I finally managed see the same specialist who operated on my and he has diagnosed that the dissolvable screw that was used to secure the gaft into the tunnel (through the shin bone) has for some reason grown outwards and shaped into what can be described as a small lump which looks like a popcorn. Last year june 07, I started to get very sharp pains along the ACL scar, mainly when I made any attempts to play any sport. About four year ago, I had ACL reconstruction surgery too.
