Fracture or no fracture that is the question
I fell off a 4 foot high wall and severely hurt my knee. I couldn't weight bear and is swelled rapidly. Any a and X-ray ed it and diagnosis was some ligament damage and possible tibia fracture. 2nd opinion of X-Ray was there wasn't fracture. Was referred for a MRI which showed torn ACL and possible tibia fracture, but no bone marrow markers that would be expected with a fracture done 3 weeks ago.
now been referred for a CT scan although dr said it isn't fractured, I asked about what the MRI showed and he said the MRI was showing something which wasn't there. but don't weight bear!!
There not doing anything with the ACL until they work about about the suspect fracture.
i have no idea what is going on and need some advice on how I can help myself recover.
thanks in advance
Sally
