I got a cortisone injection on Thursday 3/7/13 let me say BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE....for an ACL injury.. Well now I am having problems and my ortho is not listening to me... I can't walk my knee is more swollen and I can feel fluid swishing around srry only word I can use to describe it , my foot is going numb and the pain in my knee is worse now then before the shot...... I tried to call my doc over the weekend and of course go the on call dr and was told to go to the emergency room and I did....that doctor was a jerk needless to say.... he acted like I was faking.. yeah I wish then I would be able to pay my bills but that's besides the point....back on track now..... he said my knee was fine which it's not my PHYSICAL THERAPIST saw me today like he does every Tuesday and said that something is not right with my knee last week I was walking with my cane and now I can't even put any pressure on it and that is a big step backwards....The pain is so bad that my percocet and my mobic which is an anti inflamatory is not even helping. So I decided to call the ortho office back this afternoon and told them all this again and his time they were very rude to me and actually told me to find a new ortho surgeon......I feel like there is something not right with my knee and IDK where to turn should Igo to a different ER and tell them my problems...I can't sleep and all I am doing is crying and I feel like there is nothing that can help... I've iced it , elevated it and even tried heat. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT...
