My knee popped out this morning. Only, it was different than it always has been. Normally, my eyes are still closed and I’m just starting to become coherent when my knee will pop that causes my eyes to fly open at the exact moment that I am ripped from my slumber. That’s when I call myMom for help!
It is only after my Championship Saturday that I spent in two emergency rooms and after two x-rays and three ambulance rides that I know it is not my knee popping out. My knee joint is still intact when it feels like this. The x-rays showed that! What Dr. Washington told me was that it was a tendon or ligament that is stretching funny that causes my knee to hurt.
It no longer, “pups”out but rather just kind of, “slides” out of place but either way both hurt! A lot! For the rest of the day that my knee, “pops” out, it hurts! Just like right now! I’m trying to wrap my head around it STILL hurting after MORE than a year and a half removed from surgery!
I wonder if continued damage is being done to my knee?! Dr. Moore has been through all of my MRIs multiple times. Now, I am just waiting to get an appointment with Dr. Bitar. He isthe PMR (physical medicine and rehabilitation) doctor that Dr. Moore has referred me to. To me, it is further proof that my knee is broken! I need ongoing care!
My knee, “pops” out multiple times during each week but what makes this time different is that I was awake, my eyes were open, and I thought I had bypassed the pain! Not so much!
