Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Solution For Pain After Falling Hard On New Knee Replacement?
What should I do after falling hard on my new knee replacement. It feels funny and tight right across the middle of the knee. I can walk and climb stairs but it hurts. I had the arthoplasty done in June and I fell at the end of October. I am 63 years old and female. EB
The symptoms seem to be related to the fall. I suggest to do an X-ray to exclude a fracture. Meanwhile, I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to maintain the leg immobilized.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
