Please don't chastise me for this. Already doing shock and guilt.
Had an Oxford partial done 4/21. Had my two week post-op check and was doing
fantastically. Walking without a cane. Exercising regularly and but still resting it a lot.
Yesterday missed a slippery spot in my driveway and went straight down both knees bent. Full weight on them.
Hurt a lot afterwards. Some swelling. No cuts or bruises on either knee.
Today it clicks when I pull my leg back. More pain on movement but not too bad.
Know I have to call my OS. But so discouraged. If I messed this up I am in terrible trouble with my job.
Tomorrow I was to start light duty work, leg elevated, a few hours a day.
I can't tell my boss I *may* have screwed this up again. They have been tolerating my 3 arthroscopies for a year now.
So upset with myself. I was over-doing it. My husband barely talking to me.

PS. Jo, Could this just be a muscle/ligament thing? I know you can't tell me. Is it possible at this early date that I could have loosened my prosthesis with the jarring?
