I had one knee replaced just over a year ago and mine has phases of clicking. I am due to have second one very soon and wondering if that will do the same :-D :-D

I had two replacement knees in May and November 2008. I do get a bit of clicking now and again but was told lots of people do.

I got an infection in the first knee and had to be admitted again after 2 months to have the knee debrided. The wound was left open (not stitched) and packed every 2 days for about 6 weeks. That knee has never been as good as the second one but much better than it was beforehand so even with all the problems I'm still glad I had it done.

I never used crutches - just two walking sticks, then one after a couple of weeks and then got rid of it long before I had the second knee done.

I had a knee replacement in 2014 and it is the best thing I ever had done. No clicking or any noises from mine. I would check with your doctor if you are concerned about it.

I had one done 2 weeks ago.Have to say I discarded crutches last week as more of a hindrance than help. What I want to know is has anyone else suffered from clicking and a noise coming from the knee? Doesn't hurt or anything, actually it's been brilliant, just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.
