Fallen arch in right foot after knee replacement
Posted , 2 users are following.
I had my second knee replacement in December 2019, my recovery seemed more painful than my previous replacement, especially along the inside of my knee, when I saw the surgeon at my review he noted straight away my gait was wrong and it seems I have developed a fallen arch which (in his words) is going into a valgus knee, causing me medial sided pain, he has recommended I get a firm arch support to wear in my shoe and will see me again in 3 months.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and did the shoe support help

Ive had 7 operations on the knee and foot rebuilt and got life changing injuries but on a similar problems a good poditary would be more helpful i would not be where I'm today without her. speak to your consultant they will be able to get you an appoitment

Thanks for your reply, I think I may have been wearing the the shoe insert for too long, as when I read some of the comments I should have just worn the inserts for short period of time and increased the time slowly.
I have made an appointment with my GP to see if he will refer me to a podiatrist if things don't improve as I would hate for the knee replacement to be undermined.

hi my podiatrist was great she was helpful after my accident being hit with a car,
i also had fallen arches when i ran for many years and it was a good friend of mine recomended something after id tried many others and it helped a can of beer frozen and roll under foot up and down it slowly fixed my scar tissue.
