I had my ACL reconstruction two weeks ago exactly. I had a hamstring graft and all has been well until today. Today was my first day back at work, which involves commuting to work and a total of about 30 mins walking each way. Walking to work today has been fine, but on the way back, I noticed a "plucking" sensation on the outside of my left (operated) knee about 5 out of every 10 steps. Could anyone advise what this may be? I think my knee has swollen slightly about the knee cap but not drastically (probably a reaction to walking a bit more), but the plucking feeling (like a guitar string) is a bit unnerving. I dont think there has been another tear but could this be the graft becoming loose? i.e. one of the screws?

Many thanks for your time,

Adam
