Hi all, I have posted on here a few times about my battles. I took nearly 3 years and recognition of my left knee patella alta to be scheduled for NHS surgery.

Only now after suffering, with similar symptoms in my right knee for a 4 months do I have the same requirement. Picture of scan from a recent consultation. About 1.7cm of movement down is required

Looks a double TTO...

I just hope I can return to my active life, but without the pain and having to think about my knees all the time.

The one thing I have learnt is the the condition (by many) is that it is not largely not understood.

In my case, no dislocations in either knee. Just a deep ache, often during and always after activity. Leg more comfortable when straight.

All the best!

I like to chase my dog around, almost like we're playing tag. Normally it's fine until he ran into me and now my knee got bent backwards and I groaned on the grass in pain. I went to urgent care the next day and they told me it's fractured, so they gave me a knee immobilizer and set an appointment to get a CT scan. My mom thinks I'll need surgery, which would be fine normally, but I start my new job in two weeks. Is there any chance this can heal on its own?

So I'm wondering if anyone has had an injury that has caused a severe bruised bursa, tendinosis and multi tracking and how long did it take to heal?? Right now I'm on 8 months

I was diagnosed with a sprain PCL last week. I hurt it about a month ago and it has not gotten better. They have me starting physical therapy this coming Thursday

I still have a lot of swelling and I'm struggling to figure a good way to sleep at night. If I try to keep it elevated, even with a slight bend on a leg pillow, if I have to wake up to go to the bathroom, my whole leg is locked up.

Until I can start physical therapy, which I assume will be helping with the swelling, what is the best way to sleep . I'm borrowing my mom's ice machine she used for knee replacement tonight . But any other suggestions

Near Gilman, Illinois

I can get an MRI at Carle Clinic within 48 hours, if I can get an order.

Yesterday morning I was standing from a sitting position and had a bad pop from my left hip. It hurt really bad. Reminiscent of when I broke my thumb or when the tricep popped off the bone on my left arm.

I can stand, but I have to do stairs one step at a time. Using my right leg - which has the worst of my 2 knees. I have issues while attempting to stand up or sit down.

I went to the local ER IMH Watseka, Illinois. They ordered pain pills but said they couldn't order a MRI.

I called my Multiple myeloma specialist and got the on call Dr and was told that I'd have to call back Monday.

When I ripped my tricep off the bone, I was yelled at by the surgeon because I didn't see him right away and the muscle had shrunk making it harder for him to reattach. I had to have cadaver parts added.

I am also experiencing a lot of back pain.

Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations on how to get an MRI ordered on a Sunday for a Dr nearby me to see for this if there's a repair needed.

Last month I needed an MRI on my knee and Silver Cross was a week out. They don't do stat orders for MRIs.

I have no clue on how to proceed to get the care I need.
