Hi all,
I had a TKR on May 9th. I came home the next day and was doing very well. At 40 hrs post op I tried to get up from my chair and fell twice on my knee. I went in to see Dr the next day and everything looked good on X-ray. Of course I was now using a walker. At 2 weeks I was 110 and 0. Another X-ray showed everything with the implant was normal. But I was so swollen and bruised, probably more so from the falls. I transitioned to a cane but had medial pain when weight bearing. At 6 weeks I started having more medial pain especially when raising my leg. I went for 6 week check up and the Dr said it is normal to have pain at 6 weeks and to do 8 more weeks of PT. He said to come back if I still had pain in two more months. It seems like the pain is getting worse. I have also had some wobbling but it seems to be the back of my knee and from the beginning every time I bend my knee it clicks. I am really worried that something is wrong.
