    Is your physical therapist and doctor aware? You definitely have to tell them. They'll know what to do. Please contact them.

    Is this a joke Corlea? ? Nobody waits 5 days or any days with a locked knee,! You don't say if you've had surgery? Let common sense prevail 😀

    Go to an emergency room asap. You need professional help. Messing around with this could cause damage

    i have been to Ae on friday morning 21st  - and they have refered me for an MRi - apparently they were going to call me - i waited until monday -  after manu phone call to the nhs, and i have finaly found out today that my papers for a request havent even been sent until today...

    i cant even get hold of my referal form.....i have decided to go private with an Mri scan as apparently this could take 2 weeks before i am seen....i am crying while i am writing this out....honestly the system here is a joke....

    i hope that i get hold of my referal form tomorrwo and get the process rolling ...i am starting to get pin and needle in my leg now.....

      Oh my gosh! You aren't in the USA are you? I feel so bad for you. If you were in USA you would already have been seen and probably disgnosed and possibly even set up for surgery.

    Hi Corlea

    Johnny is absolutely right! Get yourself to A&E ASAP!

    No question, no argument! Should be quieter midweek evenings.

    Good luck
