Knee Re-Injury Possibly?

laxin12

i'm about 4 1/2 months post-op, i had arthroscopic surgery with microfracture to repair torn cartilage on my medial femoral condyle. A few weeks ago i jumped knees first onto a sled and have been having problems since. i am experiencing alot of stiffness and a little swelling, there is also something the feels like it is moving when i extend my knee. should i be worried about another injury?

Hello!

I would suggest you to rest and restrict movements for few days. Apply ice packs and take NSAIDs and if the pain and inflammation does not subside then you would need to follow up for an examination of the damage done in your knee joint.

Take care!
