Hope I have put right title in - this is really a question for any one who has an answer or advice I would be very grateful. Had PKR in May. It has been ok and doing very good I think. Return to work on 4 Sep as stated in previous post but one little problem keeps popping up.
I have always had a sore and painful point on inside of knee about 25 degrees of centre just above lower joint. Always been told by physio it's the knee cap getting stiff so T did movement on it as shown. At 12 weeks saw surgeon, he xrayed knee and says all ok, no issues and signed me off from hosp with instructions to have ultra sound that has never materialized.
That's no great problem to me really but I still get this sore and really painful point. It's as if the knee cap rubs on the replacement joint and when it happens the pain is very sharp then sore, hurts a few hours then goes off. Some times I need to take meds. This seems to happen at randomly over the last few weeks. I have been making a record of what I've done previously. The only thing that crops up is small stairs or getting up from sitting on the floor when I put full weight on leg and knee flexes out to the right putting pressure on new joint. I do forget and do stairs leg over leg sometimes, just a few steps. It also hurts at night when I move about in sleep and wakes me up. The pain's not as bad as before op but still uncomfortable. Many thanks
