    TKR Sore leg after vaccuum cleaner fell on it!

    I'm 6 months post TKR and yesterday while I was cleaning my vaccuum cleaner handle came away and the cleaner fell on to my new knee. It's really sore to touch and has swollen a bit! Has anyone else hurt their new knees? I'm guessing ice is the answer?

    @hopalong61 You did well. As I said I'm not going until July so still have time to improve and I'll get my daughter to do all the heavy lifting! I used to love Dioclefenic I was so upset when Voltarol stopped selling the tablets as they really worked. Yes very true side effects are not good...
