Patella Tendon Rupture Rehab

I tore my Patella Tendon on 12/30/08 and had surgery done.  Now im in rehab but im have a hard time getting through.  I am about to start my 4th week of therapy doing 60 degrees but it feels like my knee is going to pop and when i get home i cant bend my leg as much as I did in therapy.  My question is: Is the feeling of the knee popping during therapy normal? Does anyone else have a hard time bending knee after therapy? I just feel like im not improving but my therapist says i am

hi nenita,
don't worry of the pop sensation. Reason-while doing physio, you don't have such problem. It's more of stress and anxiety related, especially when you feel that your Therapist is not around you. Sometimes it happens in out subconscious mind.

Continue your physio.
If gross problem, then call your treating doctor.
