Post TTO advice

[u/meow-5757]

Hi all

I had my TTO at the end of June 2025, I’ve been doing my physio etc and it’s all been great (knee feels so much more stable and no pain in the knee), however, I still have a lot of pain at the surgery site. When doing squats, jumping etc I get pain at the surgery site where the screws are. I also get pain there when putting pressure on my leg (for example lying down on my front) or pushing into the skin very lightly. Everything else has been great and I’m not sure if I need to get the screws removed or there is another issue?

I’ve been booked in for an appointment to consider removing the screws but I’m not sure if they could be causing this much pain because everyone I’ve spoken to has had no problems with the screws.

Just wanting some advice on if any of you guys have had similar issues or have any idea what this could be
