I had a fall and landed right in my tkr extreme pain and swelling GP said internal bleeding and tissue damage but I worried may have damaged new knee
Anybody else had this please
Still tight and burning after 24 hours of rest and icing
I am soooooo sorry, Lorraine. I worry about falling and spend too much time looking down. I feel for you having probably thought that you were out of the woods at 16 months. Keep us posted how you're doing and I really hope that this will heal quickly and you will be back to normal very soon.
Hi Lorraine - hope that you are feeling better. You mentioned that your GP said bleeding and tissue damage. Did they take an X-ray? If not -- you need to go and have an x-ray done on that knee. My mother had a TKR in 2002, she fell in 2009 and when she fell -- it was not a hard fall. She fell on thick carpet. However, took her for an x-ray and she had fractured her femoral and tibia bone plus her knee had to be replaced. I am not saying that you could have fractures but is always best to have it check by a professional with an X-Ray. I had a TKR last October and that is one of my fear is falling. Continue to ice and follow the doctor's instructions. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Take care J-21370
Ich bin mit 10 Monaten die Treppe hinuntergefallen, habe die unterste Stufe verfehlt und bin unsanft gelandet. Ich bin nicht direkt auf das TKR-Knie gelandet, habe es aber überdehnt, und es wurde sehr steif und geschwollen. Allerdings fühlte sich das eigentliche Knie noch fest an, als ich aufstand und mein Gewicht darauf verlagerte, daher habe ich keine medizinische Hilfe in Anspruch genommen, da ich zu der Zeit im Urlaub im Ausland war. Es dauerte ein paar Wochen, bis ich mich erholt hatte, und ich benutzte wieder einen Gehstock, bis ich mein Selbstvertrauen zurückgewonnen hatte. Wenn Ihr Hausarzt es untersucht hat und es nicht für notwendig hielt, Sie zu einer Röntgenuntersuchung zu schicken, muss er der Meinung sein, dass es sich nur um eine Weichteilverletzung handelt.
Die Prothese kann viel aushalten. Ich stürzte am Tag nach meiner Überarbeitung, was zu einem 20-Grad-Torsionsbruch des Oberschenkels führte und eine weitere Untersuchung am folgenden Tag erforderlich machte. Die Prothese hielt wunderschön stand.
Hi ! I fell on new knee 4 weeks PO. I was sooooo nervous and I was out of town , out at a dinner . Crazy all the way around as I look back . But ... the knee did great ! I agree with OFG that I believe the new knee is stronger than the old knee . I did ice it as soon as I could . Good you had it checked just take it easy for awhile till it calms down .

I fell on my TKR knee after only a couple of months. I thought I might have done some damage, so made an appointment with the surgeon who did the TKR. He had X-rays taken in the office and everything was AOK. I was told to ice it and elevate if there was any swelling (which I was still doing anyway). He said these replacement parts can take a lot. PT took pity on me and went easy on me for a week or two. No problems since and it's been a little over 2 years.
Hey Lorraine
same thing. Ortho decided best course of action was to discharge me bc I think he just didn't want to be bothered. He already got the big fee. New Ortho won't touch knee.
My knee was stiff and swollen for 3 months. I haven't done anything except to take anti-inflammatory meds and Percocet which I've taken for back pain. I just kept on living as usual. Knee healing now, much less stiffness, and even no pain when I wake up. But it will get stiff in a heartbeat if I abuse it or don't. It's all a matter of what you're willing to accept in my humble opinion.
live long and prosper
Hullo
