I have had a total knee replacement several years back and I have recently taken two falls to the knee cap in the last week. I can walk with some pain but it is extremely painful to the touch. it is swollen on and below the knee cap and some discoloration. what are my chances that I did any real damage?

Hello,

Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. You have to get an MRI scan done for further evaluation. As of now, you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or tramadol for pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
