    Re: 2 years post knee surgery -- help!

    How did you hurt your knee this time, and what are the symptoms? Who diagnosed the MCL sprain? Hip pain could be compensation for knee instability. Are you sure it's not the ACL?

    Pain down the side of my knee, that feels worse after activity. It also catches, and locks. Plus hip and ankle pain.

    I hurt it again after jumping two stairs on my way to work.

    I'm not sure about ACL! The MCL tear was diagnosed by the on campus doctor at my university. He didn't send me for scans or anything though.

    The meniscus and/or ACL could be involved as well - and along with the MCL, is known as the terrible triad because of their close anatomical relationship. I suggest seeing a physio as he/she would be able to diagnose and treat better than your campus doc.
