I seem to have fallen off about a 6 foot ledge, and unfortunately landed with most of my body weight (265lbs) on my right knee.
I had an X-ray of it at 4 different angles, with no broken bones. However this knee is swollen at least twice as big as normal, and full of fluid. It seems to get more painful each day, as some of the feeling is finally starting to come back.
I have been icing, and applying heat at different intervals, and also wrapping with an Ace bandage. None of this is really helping as far as I can tell. I can walk on it, and climb stairs, etc. But any angle inward is not happening.
How does one know if you have a torn tendon or other damage that the X-ray didn't pick up. Or is it just a matter of time and patience of which I have neither and it will come around?
mrs johnr has been putting on my right sock each morning as i cant bend my knee inward, the pain is unbelievable.
