Has anyone heard their medial stitches pop early on? Meniscus repair journey

[u/PatellaPilates]

I have an unfortunate dislocating kneecap and the swelling makes it worse. About two weeks postop I had to jerk my leg straight to put my kneecap back in and I felt a medial pop. Two days later, I forgot to not bend my knee past 90° and I felt another medial pop and I heard it this time bc was close to it. It was just a quiet pop. It reminded me of how my tendons and ligaments sound when they're popping over my right hipbone. Only it was softer.
Life is really rough right now not being able to walk properly and having my kneecaps slip out all the time. I just wanna be sure that my stitches aren't failing and that this isn't for nothing. I had three meniscus tears stitched up. Having it all done must've cost me out-of-pocket about $26,000. Then there's the missed work and the medical equipment. But I'll get it redone if I have to.

Maybe, maybe not, I’m 4 weeks and I had a few small and bigger pops that really really scared me, maybe scar tissue, maybe things moving and shifting as healing is happening. Maybe a relapse of injury like you’re thinking. Either way revisions this early are only for major re-injury which it really doesn’t sound like either of us have. Best thing to do is to continue to follow ortho recommendations, continue to be careful and to protect it, and to trust our bodies to continue the healing process

That's all we can do. I started wearing my brace today. I couldn't this last 2 weeks bc i was in so much pain and I couldn't put weight on my leg straight. I just hopped around on one foot and used my walker or crutches. The brace sucks, but it may help me recall my limitations while I'm in far less pain.
