A member asked:

Is it normal to have clicking and popping on lateral side of knee 10 days after menisectomy and debridement? it feels like when i first injured it

Follow up: A more accurate answer will come from the Orthopedic surgeon who performed the procedure. Your symptoms could be consistent with post-op healing.
