Post Total Knee Replacement surgery
(2 discussions)
In February of this year I had a total knee replacement.Two months into recovery and healing I tripped and fell very hard on the same knee.
This was two months ago, and after having an ex-ray at my doctors office. He said that the exray didn’t show any damage.
My question is I am feeling more pain in it now than I did after the first month after falling.
I don’t want to have to cope with the pain of arthritis any longer so what is the next step?
Is it possible that I could have damaged it seriously?”

I had knee replacement 5 months ago 5/8/06 and I am still in terrible shape. I have sniffness and muscle pain. I am doing everything from exercising to going to physical therapy. my doctor insists I am not doing anything. I feel like something went wrong with the surgery. I see people walking around after 4 – 6 weeks. this is very discouraging. I thought this surgery was going to help me not hinder me.
