Both knee replacement
Posted , 1 user is following.
4 months ago I got my right knee replaced and all went well. doing all my exercises 3 times a day and walking as prescribed by my physio. then at about 2 months when walking down the house stairs my knee gave way. I was almost at the bottom so didn't fall that far, the problem is that the way I fell my knee was bent right back and touched my backside. after about 10 minutes of feeling sorry I managed to get up and all seamed to be OK. the next morning I felt very stiff and phoned 111 to get some advice. they said to go to A andE. and get an x ray to make sure that I hadn't damaged the implants. all came back as good and nothing wrong but left me with a pain above my knee cap. at 3 months I got my left knee replaced and am now 6 weeks in, totally perfect. when I walk I am struggling with my right knee, I spoke to the consultant and he checked it out and said I had a fault there. I had an appointment a week later to see him and he said just to keep it. when I went to see him the second time he said that I had possibly torn the muscle. problem is that when I try and extend my right knee it's like an exposed nerve in your mouth and you no what that's like. SO does it sound like torn muscle or damaged implant if it is muscular what if any exercise could help sort that out?
