So 2 months ago I slipped and fell. I felt my leg bend the wrong way to the side and it hurt REAL bad! The Dr. told me to give it a week and if it didn't feel better we would take an MRI. It did feel better, and I thought great that means it wasn't that bad! So I stopped wearing the brace and everything was fine, until yesterday. Getting out of the car last night I felt something pop out again, I was obviously getting out of the car so all of my weight was on that one leg. I ended up falling onto the driveway and as I landed I felt my knee pop back into place. But I was stuck in the driveway :( and can't move my leg or put any pressure on it.
My mom was talking to me / calming me down last night and she said well at least your taking the right steps to lose weight so it will be easier on my knees. Then I started to cry more because I know that I can't work out at all until my leg heals :(
Anyways, I went to the dr. today and we took more x-rays, I found out that I dislocated my kneecap and sprained my collateral ligament. I basically have to wear my leg brace for two weeks, which means I can't move it, I also have to be on stupid crutches for those 2 weeks. Then a follow up visit is going to be with an orthopedic doctor, so hopefully this doesn't happen EVER again!
I will try and keep truckin' and try to keep a really close eye on my calorie intake and drinking all of my water.
