Took a fall
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am 4 1/2 months out from my tkr. Was out taking a walk. on way back home took a little tumble and hurt my knee and leg pretty good.
Never thought that a little fall would cause so much pain and tenderness in my knee. Knee feels okay just feels bruised muscles.
After 4 months knee and leg muscles are still weak in trying to do some things It's like I'm back to square one in rebuilding my muscles
Has anyone else fallen at about 4 months?

I had a fall at about 9 weeks, it hurt real bad. Yes it put me back for a few days, then I was back to normal, elevate, ice & exercise. I hope you feel better soon

Minor spills will hurt for a few days. Ice, elevate, recover. No big deal. It always seems worse when it happens but the knee is METAL...can't really break it but an odd fall can damage ligaments, tendons, etc. That's why we're always careful early on and avoid a whole bunch of activities down the road that can jeopardize the life span of the device. Fell on my good knee one time and bent the new one to probably around +140. Interesting...painful for two days but I think I accidentally increased my ROM!!! I make it a point NOT to walk on grass...can never see the divots and gopher holes.
