I tore my ACL,some miniscus(MRI results) damage and broken tibia plateau about 2 yrs ago.No surgery,just time and everything is OK for 1 1/2 yrs.About a month ago I fell over while snow riding and twisted/tweaked my knee OUCH!!!
It hurts directly above my knee cap.I didnt go to dr. because I just got off a arm injury and cant afford more time off work.At work a few days ago it popped and started hurting really bad,swelling and more severe pain than ever above knee cap.Does anyone know what could be wrong with the pain and swelling above the knee cap?I can move it and walk on it,but theres not really any strength there?
I realize this message board is no replacement for a dr visit,I just want an idea what may be wrong before I go?
Thanks for the input.
