yes ,Please I had a Kinespring implanted feb 28th on my left knee. I fell down the steps in my house two weeks ago . I have been x-rayed and did not disturb the spring, My problem is I am still having quite a bit of swelling in my knee and can only stay on my feet for short periods of time. Other than ice and elevation any other suggestions ?

Hi, You have fallen from stairs two weeks after undergoing knee surgery and are having swelling in the knee and X Ray does not show any displacement of implant.
In my opinion , if you have persistent swelling in the knee joint I would suggest you undergo MRI of the knee since X Rays may not show much. Also get the opinion of your operating surgeon.
