I am recovering from knee arthroscopy surgery...it s been 7 months and I have terrible pain in my calf and thigh with a popping noise (awful) when I bend my knee to walk....it seems to be popping not only in my knee, but also in the back of my calf. What in this world could this be? I have pain pills, but it s been 7 months?
Hello, I am assuming that either you had surgery for your ligament injury or for meniscal problem. Sometimes such pain occurs due to extravasation of some amount of fluid in calf area. But this pain and fluid absorb in with in one or two months. It looks from your details that pain is very much disturbing you such pain should not be there after 4-6 month. I hope adequate physiotherapy have been given to you. I will advise you to discuss these concerns with your doctor and if such pain still persists then you should have an MRI scan to rule out the pathology. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
