No Range of Motion (ROM) for 26 weeks in my left knee

[friendsfan]

im 25, i work as a healthcare assistant at my local rehab hospital (im obviously off sick)
i had my nephew on my back giving him a piggy back, i crouched down to let him off, which he did no problem, and then next thing i knew i was on the floor i dont know what happened...
the surgeon says he achieved full ROM when i had the MUA,
ive had x-rays on my knee ive had 3 different lots took, i dont know if its been skyline view.. ive also had a MRI which came back showing no real changes

Sounds to me like you had a subluxation or dislocation and subsequent relocation and that indeed pain/reflexive contracture might be in play here. I have seen this again and again commonly in young women. p.s. the skyline is the best way to look for longitudinal fractures in the patella but it sounds like this has been cleared.

Was there any swelling at the time of injury? If so when did it occur? immediately, within a few hours, over a few days etc.

I would suggest perhaps strapping the knee to give it confidence but in the absence of any bony lesion we need to get you off the crutches ASAP as this will be making the situation worse. Can you perhaps get to a pool and do some exercise in the water when the knee might feel less apprehensive to move?
