What Causes Pain And Tight Sensation On The Knees After Knee Replacement?

Had a total knee replacement June 2014. Ten days ago had a slip on a high curb and fell on the knee. After five days it was sore and tight. I can bend and walk but soreness exists. I have some celecoxib 200 mg from my other knee replacement in Dec 2104. Would it hurt to take one?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

There are several possible causes. First it can be caused by prothesis displacement or by prothesis infection. In every case you should do xrays to verifiy position of prothesis and check your blood inflammatory markers and then consult orhopedist.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
