Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I can not comment just by reading your mode of falling. but chances are very less as you are saying that you are able to lift your leg and move it without much pain. Still considering the fact that you recently had one surgery, my advice to you is that you should get an x ray. This will clear picture about it. Also till that time you should apply ice and diclofenec ointment . Do not massage or any manipulation. You can post your x ray report to us to give you further management options. take care.
