Hi,I 'm new to knee guru and i'm wondering if anyone else out there has any advice on my knee, as it is a complete mystery.
It started over a year ago I damaged by knee during a work out video. Painful but fine for about a week then suddenly I couldn't weightbear, this went on for months whilst they went through the all the tedious tests. It was so painful I couldn't even sleep properly, anyway a bone scan, mri and endless amounts of physio later little improvement. I've had a steriod injection which did help but still i have daily problems with any period of walking/driving/standing plus still taking a lot of painkillers.
Currently paying for a private physio who has strapped my knee with tape, moving the patella, which has helped a lot but still it goes red and hot sometimes and you can feel and crunching/spasaming around the patella when I've done too much. I also can't bend my knee for any period without setting it off.
All scans have showed nothing and I am currently waiting to be transfered for a second opinion (been waiting 4 months already) Has anyone paid to go privateley, was it worth it ? I'm thinking the only thing left is an arthroscopy as I think it maybe a patella tracking problem
I would appreciate anyones ideas as I'm almost out
