[|Human|] I had a fall in a manhole,It was so painfull ,I called for help but I had to pull myself out of the hole I had to drag myself into my home.. I found my cell phone late in the morning and my sister took me to the hospital. After x-rays,they told me I broke my tibia bone and need knee replacement (which I had pain before) I stayed in the hospital 3 days then rehab center for 20 days(medicare allowed) Then I am at my sisters house as she has 1 floor. I had 3 more weeks of working on my leg and knee because I need to strengthen my tibia bone,Tomorrow I start an outside center again to help me.Why am I still in pain,I also had fusion in my neck 13 yrs ago and getting headaches along wth 2 back fractures at that time.I am so worried about having this pain because I took care of my husband for 10 yrs who passed 2 years ago. I want this to be taken care of the best way and be able to at least honor my husbands life and finish my life without so much pain.I am 63 but before this fall I was going to try to get fit ,stronger etc.Now I am worried about this and who to trust.Thank you for taking the time to consult me.
[|AI|]  Hi, as you mentioned, that you need the knee replacement, than the injury should be big enough. Also understanding that whether the knee joint can be saved or not is more important. Because the first priority is to keep the physiological joint intact rather making it an artificial. Also, since you had a fall, undergoing the MRI of the whole spine will surely help if any spinal injury has occurred. As the mechanism of the fall and the impact the body took at various places is not known, the MRI of spine will provide good insight to help you further. Undergoing physical therapy in the initial days will be helpful for the further treatment plan. Any more question you have, you can ask me directly. Regards
