    I am numb in my knees (on the sides). I also had both knees replaced 10 years ago for me. But I'm sure you could have woken up the scar tissue and maybe even now have some fluid on the knee? I would certainly have it checked on. I have another friend who had her knee replaced and then got a hematoma on her knee cap area and it because full of fluid and infected. They did drain it which helped her bend her knee better.

    Wouldn’t worry about the numbness since the op,I still have the same mainly on the outside of the knee and the surgeon said I could well stay that way as for the fall I would use ice and maybe try some voltarol on it,if no improvement get it checked out be your GP

    It would be a good idea to get it checked out. Just to be on the safe side.
