HI Everyone, new here! I had a Left TKR on 9/11 this year so I am 4 months post op. I was attempting to go down the stairs normally yesterday and my good leg slipped off the step causing my left the bend completely back, my foot almost touched my bottom. Just checking to see if anyone has done this and if I should be worried. It hurts a little and throbs here and there. I can walk fine...it just hurts a little again.

Just when things were looking up... 😦

Thanks in advance!!!

    Ice, elevate and rest for a few days. It should be fine, but if you have ongoing problems or are worried see a doctor. The joints are pretty tough and it's likely the soft tissues are suffering, but it should improve with a bit of TLC.
