Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Arthritis In Legs, Fall In The Butt, Have Stiffness In Calf Area, Knee Stiffness. History Of Knee Replacement. Treatment Required?
I put my foot on a folding chair and was tying my shoe laces tighter, and stood up and lost my balance before lifting my foot from the chair. I fell against a piece of furniture and hit the closet door and landed my butt on the floor. I figured that when I landed on the floor, my foot was still sort of on the chair, so my leg was sort of straight out when I landed. Now my calf area below my right knee is very stiff and hurts somewhat to walk. I had this knee replaced back in 2004 and was told that I had a lot of arthritis within the legs. I am almost 71 years old. I am suppose to see my doctor on this coming Friday for a back problem I am having. Back does not hurt me right now. Not sure how I will feel in the morning.
