Fractured knee I slipped at home 2 months ago. I was told at the hospital that I had a dislocation of the kneecap after a follow up with my family doctor and a scan I have a fracture and ligament damage of the thigh.

Good morning, ma'am,

Have you undertaken any other treatments in the meantime, such as physiotherapy?

No, following my doctor's recommendation, I cannot do physiotherapy before seeing an orthopedist

Thank you for the information. If you are unable to start a non-pharmacological modality, you will need to ensure that your pain medications are optimized to reduce pain, preserve a realistic level of activity and an acceptable quality of life

Are you taking any pain medications? Are you currently taking any other medications, have any allergies, intolerances or contraindications? Are you pregnant or trying to become pregnant?

Don't hesitate if there is anything!
