What Does My MRI Scan Test Report Indicate?
Question: Namaste
My two wheeler skidded and i fell on my knee. Initially i was diagnosed as Haemarthrossis. I had 10 days bed rest But as there was pain in my knee i went to another doctor who advised MRI and the report said UNDISPLACED FRACTURE OF THE POSTERIOR ASPECT OF THYE LATERAL CONDYLE OF TIBIA, LIPOHEMARTHROSIS.. I am advised one month bed rest and was told to use walker and not to rest my leg on floor, no medicines and no plaster. Now it is 15 days after MRI and one month after the fall from vehicle. and i am unable to bend my knee beyond 90 degrees. Today again I went to doctor but i was asked to rest for another 15 days. Of course as I dont have any support in my day to day chores i am slowly limping and walking and completing the house work.I am using crepe band sometimes as i feel heaviness in my calf muscles. But I fear whether i would be able to walk normally or not. Doctor kindly advise me as to what to do next so as to recover faster should i use a knee cap or any band.
