You know I got the same thing, except the pins and screws are still in there. I think it's because of damage that was done to the area from the metal grinding on the joint. Maybe in your case it started doing it and because it as already damaged a bit it's continuing to get damaged. I know everyone is going to tell you this, but i think it is the best thing to do, before you have a bigger problem on your hands- do to the doctor and find out what the heck it is. Hopefully you'll just need a couple physical therapy sessions to learn some excersizes that will strengthen the ligaments around there and protect the joints from the impact and hurt less or none at all.
i'm rooting for you! I know the pain...all my leg joints are screwy like that these days
Calcium deposits could be the source. They form after injuries because the body sends more support to help the injury. they are spottable by x-ray, have it checked out.
