Joint Problem

[FuzzyLittleNightmare]

OK, so I'm not quite sure how to describe this accurately but I'll give it a shot!

So, about 2 years ago now I popped my knee-cap out of joint. Even the doctors weren't quite sure how...I just stood up and my knee gave out from under me. It swole up and I was in total agony so we went to the hospital. The night staff scanned it and then just bandaged it up back it the right position and told me to keep it rested and elevated for a week. I did and it felt normal again and I went right back to dance classes.
But now, whenever it's really rainy and I have been exercising or just walking for a while it gets really sore and I have to put a compression bandage on and rest it. The hospital near me always makes you wait for hours so I don't want to go if its not necessary so can anyone tell me if this is normal after a joint injury or is there possibly something wrong?

I would suggest putting the compression bandage on it as you need too but when you go see you general practioner you talk to them about it and they might be able to put you on something to help.

I have the same thing and the drs. said theres really nothing they can do for the pain except for a heating pad.

Sorry, but when I read the title, I thought you were having problems buying weed :eek:

Have you tried putting a support bandage like tubagrip to help?

Just a thought thats all.

(here comes another bad rep) :P
