    Well, I fell yesterday on my knee replacement 14 months post op. I can walk on it. Just some swelling. I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I am so scared. I have been icing it. I don’t feel like I messed anything up but the swelling.

    Jockette, to be honest, no I am not thrilled with this guy. I go back November 24, and I will see what he does. Really leaning to a second opinion. Cjackso21 I am feeling the same way. A year is too long to feel this vice, swelling, pins and needles. I go Nov. 24 and see what he says. If...

    He did all of the usual knee movements and I was fine. 130/0 rom. Then he said Stand Up and started pushing on my lateral thigh and around the hip I yelped. He said bursitis and it affects the knee. I got a shot but barely helped. I feel so defeated. Swelling, pin and needles plus the vice...

    I am a first grade teacher. I will admit lots of sitting because of the swelling and tightness. PT said I did not need to do exercise because of my job. Now I wonder if that was a smart move. Not moving around much.

    It has been since January since I posted. I will be 6 months out on Monday with right total knee replacement. When is this swelling going to stop? I can't take it.

    @Colette As I was researching this sight I saw the following on a post The tight band feeling is part of the pain and swelling you have. It's also the result of normal scar tissue, which will dissipate, in time. It's not eh bad sort of scar tissue that the therapists worry you about and you...
