Ok so I fell in town 3 night's ago, landed with 1 leg straight out and the other straight under my body. I got picked up but as soon as I tried to put weight on it my knee wouldn't function. I went to ER and the doctor relocated my knee and sent me for an X-ray, by the time I came back to the doctor it has popped out of place again. He said there was no breaks but ALOT of fluid and swelling and the pain i'm describing sounds like ligament damage and also that his isn't a common injury for women (im a 21year old gill but using my BF account) So I got given painkillers, a leg brace and crutches and was sent home.
The problem is it has been 3 days and any movement causes my knee to pop out again, which hurts. I can pop it back in by touching it on the side but im wondering if this is normal for this kind of injury. I was supposed to go and see a physic today but I still can barely move.
Any advice??? What kind of healing time is normal and should the knee still be doing this? I even sleeping with the brace on to minimize the popping
i mean, the only movement im doing is going to the bathroom super slowly with leg brace on, even thats enough to trigger the knee to pop
