Hi, just thought I'd post this...

I hurt my knee playing v-ball. I just lunged slightly, felt knee give out (bent to the side) with a tearing and finally pop! Instant pain, swelled within 24 hrs. This all happened sept 9th I believe. I had a MRI and was told severe bone bruising.

Since then I've been doing physical therapy, mostly the exercises at home b/c I can't afford to keep going! It was odd to realize how weak my knee was!! My left leg easily did the techniques while my right (injured knee) could barely do any of them. I did call my doc a while back b/c of my knee giving out or it would feel like it would fling itself backwards which would cause pain, it also popped randomly. Recently it's been painful again. I still walk with a limp. I can finally straighten it all the way, but it wobbles when I do. I can't bend it all the way without excrutiating pain. It gets sore if I am on my feet for a long time. It still has been giving out or bending backwards. I also feel like if I put weight on that leg to reach something or whatver , it almost feels like my thigh bone is sliding on top of the shin bone, which of course hurts. I dont know if thats what is really happening, but thats what it feels like. When I do feel pain its most often within my knee right smack in the middle. Or on the outsides. I was playing around with my hubby and put my weight on the bad knee and I felt it wobble and start to bend to the side (almost like when I injured it) and I quickly tried to correct the problem.

THats that. I am supposed to see my doc again this month...
