4 1/2 months and I was doing great. Just tripped on of those parking curbs and landed very hard on my new knee. It was bleeding slightly on a small part of my scar, the skin is pretty scraped up and I can see some visible swelling. Didn't land on the knee cap but seems to be more right below on the top of the tibia. I've been icing and resting since then and the only noticeable change I seem to have (other than what I can see) is that I can't bend it as much as I was able to before the fall.
I have my last check up with my os on Tuesday....thankfully. He's not going to be happy when he sees what I've done but am hoping I didn't do any damage to the joint.
If I did any serious damage do you think I'd have other signs of it? I can't stop crying because I'm so upset that I did this. He told me the only thing that could hurt my new knee would be a fall and I was so careful for so long. I just don't know what happened today.
