Sorry to hear about your fall, Lynn........Before my hip replacement, I

worried about falling

and breaking my hip......now I worry about falling and breaking my

hip......some things do

not change........hope that you haven't damaged anything. BARB in Florida

Pain - think I know why

You know, I wrote earlier saying how uncomfortable I was. Well, the other

day, I nearly fell. There's a higher step up from my TV room into the dining

room and that's where I got tripped up. I started going down, but caught

myself with my hands before I fell all the way on the floor. My DIL said the

way I went down, I had to have bent my knee too rapidly.

Went to the store with my son and barely made it back into the house. Now,

the knee is much more swollen. My DIL is an LPN and has been watching my

knee. It's gotten pretty hot compared to the other knee and the pain has

increased.

So, I guess I call the surgeon tomorrow and see what he wants me to do.

Thanks!

Thanks, Barb!  I'm better this morning...the swelling has greatly improved, and

the pain has decreased a lot.  I'm waiting to hear from my doc.

 

Falling has always been an issue for me, too.  You are right...some things never

change.

I fell over yesterday. Smack bang on both knees. And my first thought was thank

heavens I didnt have my knee replaced. I'm sure I'd have really done it some

harm if I had. Worrying

Its amazing how strong the replaced joints are, my friend with 2 knee

replacement tripped on a step that was concealed and fell onto concrete on

both knees, no damage done apart for a beauty of a bruise. And her pride.

!!! The joints were fine.

I think you have to something really bad before you hurt a replacement, like

a bad fall could dislocate a shoulder or hip etc, but I think the knees are

pretty well secure for the most part any way. It would have to be a really

bad accident or trip etc.

I have fallen numerous times with both hips shoulders and a knee and never

done any damage except for my pride !!!

I fell while working on my tree farm. Slipped on ice and was down so quick

I was lucky to get a hand down to break the fall. My OS said he wasn't

worried about hurting my TKR knee but would be more worried about hurting the

other knee.

Jeff I am afraid you are right my CPAP still works. The manufacture keeps

adding more features which seem to be nice to have but really not required.

Last year anyone on Medicare was given replacement machines after using it

for five years. Now Medicare requires justification to replace them.

That is very reassuring to hear (though sorry about your friends fall). I don't

mind having my other hip done but I'm really dreading the knee op. The surgeons

keep pushing me to do it but (apart from some days) the pain just ain't bad

enough yet

Hi , Falling is the ting I worry about also. I have taken two bad falls

since getting my new knee, but managed to fall once on my side and once on my

other knee. Living where the presence of ice in winter is practically a

constant, This is a concern. Thanks for alleviating the fear somewhat.

How's the shoulder? Joan
