Help! Today I fell while I was in my room. My crutch must have slipped or something next thing I know I'm on the floor. I don't think I hit my cast but now I keep getting sharp shooting pains in my knee area. I just recently got my cast changed to where I can bend my knees now, but after falling it hurts too much to bend my knee. I also fee l pain when just sitting around. Should I worry? Or should I wait a couple days then get an xray if the pain doesn't go away? I have about 6 weeks left before the cast is suppose to come off.

      Hi,

      Thank you so much for your reply, the pain is still there but subsided quite a bit. I'm wondering if I just irritated it, since it's the weekend and my orthos office isn't open again til Monday I will see if the pain goes away fully, if it's still there on Monday, I will call my orthos office and see if they can xray it.
