I had meniscus surgery 8wks ago i slipped and it swelled and got hot it is clicking it has been a couple of days but there is still pain?

Kneecap irritation?: You may have irritated the kneecap joint, which would account for the clicking in a swollen knee. If the pain is in the area of the meniscus, then you should see your surgeon to make sure that there is no further meniscal damage.
