Hi, I'm 43 with brittle bones disease (osteogenesis imperfecta) . I had a total knee replacement done in may 2016 at the royal orthopaedic hospital at stanmore.

My knee has given way twice in the last week and now I have severe pain from just below my knee right down my shin to my ankle. walking is unbearable.

please any advice would be great. I will be calling stanmore hospital tomorrow for advice . Thank you

  Thank you. I will be calling them at 9. I'm really hoping it's nothing too serious. I know in my heart that this much pain isn't normal.
