Just had a fall on my partial knee surgery 6 months

I didn't fall but I hit it real hard on the corner of my bed post. I wanted to cry but I didn't. It was bleeding from the incision too. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I'm going to tell them about it. You are doing the right thing with the ice. Watch it for the next few days and if it doesn't get better call the doctor.

I fell in my hope 4 months after surgery, really hard on hip. I was on my way to pt. I had it checked out and all was fine. The thing theyy told me was that if it felt loose or out of joint then ut is a problem.If it hurts badly after icing several hours would probably have checked out to juat be safe, i am so sorry, take care

I know the feeling.  I went back to work 10 wks. after 1st TKR and promptly fell in my classroom!  Of course it was my knee that had the TKR.  I went home and iced and elevated my leg.  That next week I saw my Dr.  I didn't go in right away because my knee wasn't really over sore or swollen.  But oh, the bruises (and a black eye!). My Dr. checked my knee out and said no damage.  I don't know if that helps, but at least you know you're not alone!!😊

As far as damaging the joint the chances are low but bruising the soft tissue is a different story..keep up the icing a rest but do the muscle tightening exercises only and gently. I fell the day after my revision and twisted the femur into at a 20° angle. I had to have a hip to knee plate inserted and held in by 8 screws but did no damage to the prosthesis. A year later I passed out due to a urinary tract infection and low blood pressure. I made a 3 point landing on my knees and forehead on a hardwood floor

I split my head open to the tune of 6 or 7 stitches. About 3 weeks later the knee started to hurt and then became very painful. This time not so lucky.....I developed a staph and had many problems since

Just watch for the knee getting extremely hot and any kind of unusual discoloration. Report these changes immediately to your dr. If you feel the need go to an emergency room but x rays are about all they can do as they can't MRI a prosthesis as all they get is a black blob. If you are hurting some sort of anti inflammatory can help.

No doubt, you are going to be uncomfortable for several days.

Hello i would call dr who did knee and tell him so he can do MRI to see if there was any damage.  Better be safe that sorry

 

Well, they tell us that the new knee is probably tougher than the original, so here's hoping that yu haven't actually done any damage to the joint. of course, it will be sore because of the possible damage to muscles, tissue . .whatever,  but hopefully that will heal and you'll be as right as rain.  i fell about a month ago, and right on the operated knee. it came up about the size of chicken's egg . . . but after a week or so it went down, and there was no prb

Oh dear hit the wrong button . . there was no problem, and I hope that the same is so for you!  But any fall shakes you up . . I was a bit shaken up for a day or two I have to say!  Good luck .. .
