I had arthroscopic meniscal repair done about 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. The
swelling has gone significantly. I have also been working my leg back
and forth like the doctor recommended me to.

Today though as I was working my leg back and forth i heard a
definitely audible pop sound. It didnt hurt, but I am worried that the
repair has failed.

My question is, is it normal to hear a pop like that when the knee is
still swollen a little from the surgery?

Thanks for any advice,

Jonathan

I had similar surgery last December and my knee popped like this for several
weeks. It eventually went away, but if I overdo my exercises or play too
much tennis, it'll tend to pop until I rest up.
