last october i had a lateral release surgery done on my right knee, i have very odd joints, they all grew in crooked, but only my knees seem to suffer...i still get alot of pain in that knee, especially when the weather is changing, but recently both of my knees have been giving out completely, and being as that is unexpected ive been falling...something with some dangerous shoes to be falling in...any idea of the cause? of should i go back to my orthapedic surgeon for answers?
Please help, im actually kinda worried...i have to dress up for work everyday, and i happen to be very short, meaning my pants are very long, so thats why i opt to wear heals all the time..no only is it embarrassing to fall in public, i dont want to get hurt in public, rather it happen at home!

hello,
Yes, call or see your doctor. could be knees or possably vertigo.
I would recommend heeming all your pants so you can wear flats. Make sure to measure from inside leg from your croch to the base of your foot, you may need help measuring. it's hard for me. I am short also so i always end up cutting off about 4-6 inches off pants so they dont interfear with my walking. Hand stitch small stitches. Jeans will be the hardest since it's thick.
Good luck
God bless

Hasn't your doctor told you not to wear heals? Who cares if you are short, so am I. Wear flats, you will be better off. And yes, you should go back to the doctor to make sure things have healed correctly and there is not too much scar tissue.

Go back to your doctor and in the meantime stop wearing the heels. get flat shoes and hem your pants.
