@gailfaith For those of you who have had a knee replacement and have any limited flexion, has any one accidentally over flexed their "new" knees which in turn interfered with your balance? Trying to get up from a restaurant booth, my friend, trying to help me get up, pulled me off the seat and I landed on my knees. I immediately knew that my knees were over flexed. Knowing there was no way I could get up and because of the pain, I started to scream. People came to help me up, but I didn't want to try standing until I knew what, if any permanent damage was done, so I went by ambulance to the hospital where they found no major damage. Because I also have myotonic dystrophy my balance is a little bit compromised already, but now much more so. My physical therapist says that I should be OK in 2-4 weeks, but it has already been 1.5 weeks and I see little progress. If this has happened to you, how long did it take you to get your balance back to where it was before you fell?
