Is A Loud Painful Pop With Stiff Knee Post Injury A Cause For Concern?
A few days ago, I dislocated my knee during school. Instead of sending me to the hospital or home I continued school. I walked non it all day, where it kept popping out but would go back by its own. I was wearing a brace for a bit. I took it off and went to get up to walk to the bathroom. I got a couple of normal steps in when I heard this loud painful pop which caused my knee to give out and I can t bend it. Should I go to the hospital?

Hi welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern for your painful pop with stiff knee post injury .
Dear , your condition of painful pop is a natural process after injury . According to process of natural healing ,,it goes back on its own if you give time to recover by resting , applying analgesic creams and wearing braces in case of dislocation .
Little exercise in slow movement , mild massage with olive oil and stretching slowly to strengthen the injured location will help to be on your feet slowly .
Turmeric powder ,a level spoon , in a cup of hot milk twice a day , accelerate the process of healing , due to its antiseptic and analgesic properties .
If problem persists ,you must consult physician .
Hope this helps solve your query .
Take care . All the best .
