I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. In Novemeber, I twisted my knee. I was moving my leg down from a stool and I felt a sharp pain. I had scar tissue pop before and it was similar to that. The sharp pain subsided but I still continued to have pain and as of late it seems to be getting worse. Doing stairs, up or down, is far more difficulty than it was before this happened. Also, the outside of my knee is really hard which I do not remember this before. I had my knee replace July 17 and did wonderfully until this happened. I do have a doctor's appointment on Feb 1.
Has this happened to anyone?
I had something pop at one point and was very scared that I'd done something wrong and screwed up my new knee! I also was scheduled for a dr. visit and all was well. Good you're headed there soon. Hope all is well. Ice, massage , elevate and warm soaks with epsom salts. Blessings.
So at 4 months from knee replacement you were standing on a stool?
Slightly risky I would say.
It does take about a year to completely recover from TKR.
I would go back to GP or orthopaedic consultant if pain persists.
Take care and keep in touch

Yes, I agree standing on a stool would be risky however, I was sitting on the stool at my kitchen island. I was stretching my leg down to the floor to stand up. Sorry for the confusion.
Will report back after doctor's appt.
