What Causes Pain And Popping Sound In Knee Post ACL Repair Surgery?
Hello, I am 3 months out of ACL repair surgery. I also slipped down the stairs tonight and when I caught myself I heard a pop in that knee. Now when I walk or try to straight leg raise that leg, I have a lot of pain and difficulty in the back/right side of it. Did I tear something else?

Hi,
It is very difficult to opine with just symptoms you write. Please give rest to the knee. Use hot or cold packs, take tab Ibuprofen 400 mg after food twice a day. In case of no relief in 2 days, consult your orthopedic doctor, you may need MRI for to know exact problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
