What Causes Extreme Pain In Knee Post Replacement Of ACL And MCL?
Hello - What causes your knee to hurt so much you just want to scream most times? My ACL, and MCL was recently replaced end of December. A few weeks ago I was sitting on a stool. Someone fell into my knee from the left side.. My knee hurt really bad when I tried walking. The next day I woke up as normal, stretched and there was such a super loud pop.. So loud my whole body froze, and I had this over whelming feeling something was wrong.. The pain and swelling has not gone away. There s swelling and lots of pain on the backside of my knee, inside of my knee, and my knee cap.. What could be causing such misery?

Worst case scenario you got reinjured. The pop sound does not sound good. Ho to your orthopedic surgeon to look at it again. Do not bear weight on it for awhile. Apply ice/cold compress and take some pain medication for now
