So we went to my aunt's for Thanksgiving dinner. As we were leaving it was dark down the driveway and BAM I tripped on some landscape rock. I was panicky at first because of the TKR and yes fell right on the recovering knee. I got to the car ok and made it home. I had more difficulty walking and seems swollen and scraped. I don't think I did any damage to the knee but will see in the morning. Has anyone had something like this happen??

    Hey Melissa

    I to have had both knee's and both hips replaced in the past 3 years and have 1 weak knee and 1 great knee!! I to have fell on them both a few times and have been fine even with my weak knee. But l totally understand you getting a scare. I think l paniced 1st time thinking it was going to break but it was just bruised.

    I hope you are better now 😆.
