Knee pain from fall leads to unexpected double hip replacement
Patient story

Raymond Lerner, a maintenance technician for a property management company, was on the job when he slipped and fell on a patch of ice.

“I was a little sore, but I wrote it off,” says Lerner, 48, of Kent.

Over the course of a few months, however, he started experiencing pain in his right knee.

“One day, my knee kind of gave out, and I almost fell,” he explains.

Lerner’s pain began radiating from his knee up to his hips and back. That’s when he made an appointment with his primary care physician, Stephen Lu, MD, MultiCare Family Medicine – Kent.
