Help ! I am 6. Months post op partial knee replacement . Tonight I fell right on my knee , the very side I had surgery. It hurt but not crazy bad . I'm icing and elevating as I write this . I am petrified I did some damage . Has anyone ever falling on their operated knee . Any fall is serious I know. Dang I'm so mad at myself. I've been bragging about how happy i am with the surgery . I've been so careful. Stopped wearing my high heels even . Had a very small wedge heel on and wondering if I can't even wear those .

Praying I'm ok .sad((

    Hi, I fell the second night after my surgery (TKR) and my doc told me that it was tough and will be okay although he did check my knee out just in case. Apparently new knee is very strong but wouldn't hurt to get it checked just in case.
