Lightbulb I would go to a podiatrist

first. I think these doctors are good for everyday foot issues. (not complex surgeries, etc).

In order for bones to come "loose" your tendons have to change OR your
bone density has to shrink alot. When cartilage in between bones shrinks
the space between them grows and you can dislocate them. This can happen with the knee.)

Is there RED inflammation with these swellings? If there is any HEAT or redness I'd be very concerned. What is the time frame between these and your knee surgery? The fact that they change in size may mean you have blood clots down there! So infection, blood clots, these two things are serious IMO.

In any event either go to an Ortho MD or the podiatrist. I think your endo explanation is strange and not helpful!

If it were I, I'd be at the new doctor NOW.
