    TKR Seven years out, Right TKR

    Thank you so much for putting my mind to ease. It’s always been my biggest fear to fall directly on it. I’ll continue to RICE & keep on eye on it. If it doesn’t resolve normally, I’ll go see my doc. Thanks again!

    I’m on a blood thinner, so I bruise horribly for any bump, but that’s clearing up.

    Thanks Axx22~I can walk/weightbear as normal . I did twist it also when I fell so it’s sore on the outside. It’s hot to the touch & the point of impact (scar area) is puffed out. Is there anything I could have damaged since everything is metal inside? Do I need to worry about tendon/ligament...

    @newlybionic @KarriB is this just a phase of recovery & nothing to worry about? And what can I do to make my knee stronger~more PT or certain exercises? Do you think wearing compression stockings at this point are helpful or hurting my knee? Im 8 months tomorrow & thot I'd be so further...

    ??? Question ??? I understand that the knee clunking is normal. My question is has anyone had the clunking & felt it happen while rolling over in bed & causing pain? Sometimes I feel like my knee/knee cap is moving??? Not sure if that's possible... Each time I've seen my OS he takes an X-ray...

    Thanks everyone! No, there's no pain with the clunky sound, but it seems to be doing it more often then it was. @SwimGirl I don't have the tightness on the top of my knee but behind the upper calf behind the knee on the outside that keeps it from bending more~would that be adhesions back there?
