My mother did knee replacement surgery a month ago. After the surgery she was doing great for the first two weeks; She would walk the next day. After two weeks she didn't even need any pain medicines and started to walk well with a walker. But then one night when she moved herself from a chair to bed, she heard a few several loud clunking sounds from her knee and felt pain; the next day the pain got worse and she would not put any pressure on that leg and could not stand because of the pain. We visited her doctor and the doctor said it is normal to feel pain sometime and the pain will be going away soon. However it has been like that for almost 2 weeks now and the situation is not getting any better. She could barely stand now. Her physical therapist said this is not normal. We have an appointment scheduled in a few days. Does anyone have a similar experience or any suggestions what might be going on.
