[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 713827, member: 1233"] We had an MRI done a couple of months ago. It was quite recent. The PT was also recent. Right now she can barely bend the knee and cannot put weight on it without puking from the pain. Ice and elevation help. The ER gave her a splint to immobilize the knee, but too many days of that are bad. We had to get a new brace for it because the old one was giving her bruises from the metal bracing and they were worried it would create blood clots. The bruising from the metal was that bad. Her knee would swell in the brace (the one from the ortho doctor) and the metal would dig in and the ER doctor was really upset about it. We got a different one at the store that is more adjustable but still as supportive, so hopefully it won't cause the bruising. She is still using the crutches because even with the brace she cannot put weight on the knee. It is just a big mess. I am hoping the ortho in the city can see her. The wait would be about a month, but that is getting her in soon. They are doing this as a favor to my mom, who they have seen for a couple of decades. She is sort of a favorite, I think. The guy has rebuilt both my mom's wrists a couple of times and done a really good job after another doctor really messed them up. We would have gone to him first but I thought he only did hands/arms.
