Suggest Remedies For Knee Pain Post A Fracture
Hi, I twisted my knee 4 days ago, I attended ED, had the knee Xrayed. Apparently there is no fracture..there was no follow up advised. Was offered codiene which I declined because of the side effects. I am struggling to weight bare through the limb even with crutches. The pain is running from the knee down the leg toward the ankle and up the leg toward the hip..the pain is that bad it has brought me to tears today. I am wondering whether I need a second opinion now...I am 54 and work and find myself unable to do anything unaided!!

If x-ray is normal and you have severe pain that you cannot bear weight on it,I suggest you to get one more x-ray or a second opinion if possible
sometimes even if there is no fracture ,there can be a ligament injury which cannot be seen on plain x-ray and need MRI for this.
Hope this helps
