Knee blown out

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hey y'all. So two weeks ago, I fell and blew me knee out for the fourth time. Acl and MCL. I haven't seen any ortho. I saw someone from performance therapy. From previous injuries i know I tore it, plus I heard it all pop. The past few days I have been sitting at home crying because I have been in an extreme amount of pain. The pain right now is extroardinary. Ive been icing and everything. Trying to decide whether or not to go to er. I have no pain pills and no insurance. I can't keep going through this pain please help. Pain is starting to affect my left leg from compensation. I've also been on crutches. Please let me know asap. Thanks!!!!

    UGH!  You need to call your ortho's after hour service page the ortho and ask for advice.  Why didn't you call your ortho two weeks ago?  Why did your PT even touch you without having you see your ortho first??  Your health comes first.  If $$ is an issue you also need to call the ortho or ER's billing dept and find out if they have financial assistance or financial hardship paperwork.  Perhaps you will qualify for some discount based on your income.  Your health comes first.  GOOD LUCK!!

    Listen to henpen1980.........it's good advice.  You've already waited 2 weeks in pain without improvement.  How much longer did you plan on waiting before you got a medical opinion?
