Sucks about your knee though, just showing you that it could have been much worse :)

EL oh EL.... this one time at band camp....hahah

Hey 1st deadeye...We seem to have the same tastes. I thought i would quote you so CB would get to see it twice.LOL
Seriously. I hope it heals quick and is not more serious. Emergency room docs are good but not always accurate and might give you worst case scenario. Anyway good luck.

Well I have been thinking about it. My own self diagnosed (hehe) is that it wasn't my knee but my patella. My doctor said it was my knee, but I think he was wrong for this fact. If I would have dislocated my knee he would of had to pull my leg and pop it back in. Instead he just twist my knee around and it popped back in. So I am thinking it was just the patella (Is that better or worse, I am thinking better).

Well I don't have one of those knee demobilizerd for my thighs were too big and they were out of the bigger ones (it being football practice season). So they instead used some semi hard felt strips and used ace bandages and gave me crutches. Hopefully I can get a brace or whatever tomorrow.

Did you have to go to physical therapy or anything like that?

**cris8762** · 04-20-2003, 11:13 AM

yeah i did about 8 phys therapy appointments then my insurance coverage ran out so now i'm doing all the stuff at home (except for the leg press and neuro stimulation, i do leg press at work and just dont do the stim)

the kneecap is SOMEwhat better because it is easier to pop back in but it's worse because u can tear more ligaments and tendons i think

CB,
I am so glad you know more then the Doctors!

Your diagnosis seems right to me. I have an idea. Write yourself an RX for oxycotin and try to fill it at your local Walgreens!

You can pop your kneecap in many ways. Don't argue for once, just do what the doctor tells you without looking for his hidden agenda or secret plans!

I wasn't trying to change what the doctor said. He said I dislocated a bone in my knee. My patella is in my knee so I think that is the one I dislocated not my fibia. He wasn't specific so I am not sure. I have the xrays in front of me if that helps any hehehe.

He gave me a perscription for Hydrocodone (Loratab 7) but I refuse to take it. I just take the motron he gave me.

**cris8762** · 04-20-2003, 05:35 PM

the patella is ur kneecap (just making sure u know, not callin ya dumb if you did already)

they gave me a perscription for generic vicodin!! woohoo!!

(i'm not mesing around with my medication, and i would never abuse it or use it in a way that the doctor didnt perscribe)

**Collegeboy** · 04-23-2003, 11:35 AM

I just got back from having my MRI read. He said I did dislocated my patella, but I also slightly tore my ICL, and that I have fluid on my knee. I start rehab tomorrow at 8.
