Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain After A Fall
Question: I fell in the shower and landied on the inner side of my knee my PCL which already has a full knee replacement. I can not get in to see my doctor until the 28th of the month. Don't know what to do.
Brief Answer:
knee injury
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you injured your knee falling in the shower. You think the PCL is damaged. You can't see your regular medical provider until the 28th. I recommend that you proceed to an urgent care center to have x-rays and examination for the PCL and ACL. You may need to be in a knee brace. Continuing to walk on your knee may cause additional damage so I think you should be seen sooner rather than later.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
