My knee doesn't feel right?

Question

I have a very loose ACL due to a tumor removal done over a year ago. The past few days; my knee has been very swollen and hurting more than usual. This morning; I got up and every step I took my knee "gave way" on me. Since then it hasn't been stable and it just doesn't feel right. Could it be dislocated?? Loosened the ACL more?

What should I do? I can't go to the doctors due to my job. I have been icing it; not much help.

Answer 1

Wear a knee brace - and go to the doctor.

Answer 2

Yes, It's going to be the same thing again.

Can you go to an evening clinic or after hours?

It would be best to have X-rays and work out a treatment program, maybe arthroscopic.

I like to be encouraging, but the truth is we sometimes need to face the facts, right, and that's the way it is.

Keep up the work with Entrophen 650's, or similar.  And here's a site for you to read;  we'll assume it is a recurrence, or related.
