Les Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I have suffered a knee injury at work.The docs dont know yet how serious it is yet my knee locks in place and its very painful to put any weight on it.My question is has anyone had any problems like this and also when they was trying to move my knee it was popping and sounding like pencils breaking very painful any answers would help out a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adowns99 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: Knee injury the popping is from the swelling moving arround in your knee. i just has my acl replaced in march. its not the end of the world, but you have to do exactly what the doctors tell you. i tried to go mushroom hunting too early and boy i tell you my foot swelled up like a balloon. but you'll be ok. especially since yours happened at work. good luck and get a good injury attorney.

deerslayer2295 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: Knee injury can you pivot on your leg at all? I suffered an acl ligament tear. I could not turn to my left or right. I had to have my acl replaced. that sound you hear or feel is the cartilage, i believe. I hope you find out your problem soon and you are able to get it taken care. Good luck to you.

Muff Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: Knee injury I feel your pain...I blew out mine 3 weeks ago...I am still waiting for an MRI....I can not bend mine all the way and also after a day on it....it becomes very swollen and stiff.

OJR Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: Knee injury After several operations on my knees, the last one in Mar. of this year, I agree that the popping is the cartilage. If you tore the ACL, take it easy and put ice on it to keep the swelling down. I would suggest you get ahold of an orthpedic surgeon ASAP and get an MRI done. Don't hobble around on it because in the long run, it is going to make it that much worse in therapy after surgery! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Re: Knee injury Could be a meniscal tear from your description but I could be wrong, the meniscus being the cartilage inbetween your knee joint. A tear in that can cause your knee to lock. Really sorry to hear about your injury. Take it easy, ice it 20 minutes, take ice off for an hour and so on, and take ibuprofen. Let us know what you find out and take it easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
