    I'm still early days, nearly 6 weeks post op, so I can't answer your question but make an appointment with your gp because somethings obviously not right. Good luck

    Hi. I am four months past a partial medial knee replacement and every so often my knee gives way. It used to do it a lot before the op so like you I was quite surprised (upset) it is still happening. I understand it is because I need to do even more strengthening exercises. Have you let your muscles go perhaps ? I did a month of just walking, thought that was enough but wrong I needed to do muscle building to hold the knee in place.

    not sure this helps but good luck
