I fell on 12/30 and injured my right knee replacement. (A 70 lb dog started chasing a squirrel and I had the leash.) Subsequently went to the Dr. and he did a bone scan and apparently no visible injury.
Went on Vacation this past 3 weeks and as I was going down the stairs at a resort, I missed the last step as I was stepping down with my right leg so I fell to the right, cut my right arm and reinjured the right knee.
I fell on Feb. 12th, monday. My knee still hurts really bad. When I sit, I cannot stand the pants I have on pressing on the knee and cannot bend my knee going downstairs without super pain. I lean sideways while going down stairs...As we returned home I was carrying a bag inside and accidentally hit my knee and it was just like falling again, icebag time.

I hate to go back to my Dr. again with a new injury and do the MRI all over again...I have had the knee replacement for 10 yrs. Is there anything I could have damaged inside? ALso exactly what is there to hurt me so much? I had fluid at the back of my knee for a week or so, it seems to have eased up but I cannot touch certain spots on my knee at all without excruciating pain. Should I call my Dr. and go see him again?
Perhaps if I give it another couple of weeks, it might get better..if I do, how long should I wait?
