Have you been going/gone to physical therapy? Your physical therapist can definitely help with removing the pain.<BR/><BR/>The pain might be a result of throwing your hip out of alignment to compensate for your knee, especially if it has something to do with your gait. Again, the best thing to do would be to have a physical therapist look at it.Weihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452222375136139406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5208674395207525098.post-21865536306431527442009-03-24T07:48:00.000-04:002009-03-24T07:48:00.000-04:00hello,I have 16 weeks from my acl surgery and I wa...hello,<BR/>I have 16 weeks from my acl surgery and I want to ask u smthng. Do/did you have hip pains? I have some hip pains (not a real pain) for 2-3 weeks, especially after running, but also in walking. I'm becoming fearful about these pains.

I had a particularly good surgeon and no complications whatsoever. The recovery part is the hardest, but I know what to expect now.<BR/><BR/>2. At this point, I'm about 5 months post-op, and I still have some swelling in my knee. That knuckle-popping feeling is normal - it's swelling that will eventually disappear towards the 7 or 8 month mark. My physical therapist has told me that the swelling is nothing to worry about.<BR/><BR/>I wish you luck with your surgery!Weihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452222375136139406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5208674395207525098.post-78402871797292312642009-01-04T23:41:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:41:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting your story.

I know you have some more strengthening to go but;<BR/>1. Would you go through the surgery again?<BR/>2. Do you experience any constant pain or discomfort with your knee currently?<BR/>(My does and it sort of feels like a knuckle that needs to be cracked within the knee).<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5208674395207525098.post-11951840316248791932008-12-02T19:17:00.000-05:002008-12-02T19:17:00.000-05:00I'd love to hear more about this jumper's knee thi...I'd love to hear more about this jumper's knee thing.
