knee injury


Question Posted Friday April 28 2006, 10:36 am

In October, i dislocated my knee cap and partially tore my patella(ligament in my knee) I did physical therapy and it hurt, but i thought it was getting better. I re-injured it almost a month ago, like i dislocated it again. It is still SOOO swollen, and my leg and foot are swollen too. I still can't bend it, at all. I am going to the doctor in about a week .. and im nervous. Will I need surgery? And why do you think my leg is swollen. Oh and i am using crutches and I have an immobilizer.

i did the exact same thing = ]. you wont need surgery, so dont be nervous. as long as you have the same injury as you did before, they wont operate because they dont need to and it would just cause more damage.
if it is really that swollen, maybe you tore cartilage, now for that, you will need surgery.

hope i helped = ]]]
