Knee after Successful TKR
Well all is great with the TKR now 8 weeks but not great with something I may have done to either my hamstring or fibula (i think).
I sat down without extending my leg and produced a very sharp pain on the outside of my knee and down a bit. Went to re assessment with surgeon and he says from Xray all looks good and perhaps I tore scar tissue and to continue physio. At Physio re assessment it was noted I could not use hamstring to bend leg up without pain to the same spot. Also if I lift my leg off the excersise bike it is very painful at the spot. When I sit at a table and catch my foot on the table leg as I swing out it is a horrible sharp pain at the spot as well as trying to sit in a car where I have trouble getting my foot past the door and it catches under the door ...as I pulled it in I almost passed out from that pain...all in the same spot....when this happened I thought at the top near the spot I could feel my fibula ....all this with no visible problem looking at the leg
Walking is no problem other than I now am back on the cane in case I do something to initiate the pain because then I am sure I will go down.
Anyone else have something like this or specific excersise. Physio has me lying on my back and bending that leg till my heel touches, point toes up and drag towards me...this is painful in that spot as well as sitting with heel on ground toes pointed up and try and pull heel back..ouch!
