I had an injury from grappling years ago. Went to hsptl but they couldn't find anything. Knees always hurt after that but not to the point I couldn't participate in sports. This last summer I fell off of a platform about 7 feet high and landed on my knee caps. I got medical treatment but all they told me was that I had tight quads and to go to physical therapy. I did for 3mos and nothing helped. They tried to balance my hips out but couldn't. Finally I had x-rays and still orthopedic dr. couldn't find anything,said i need an MRI but costs like 2K! (I am a student). My knee really hurts now all the time- especially when sitting with leg bent even a little. Pain is under knee cap at center in middle. It hurts to walk, (almost limping) & feels like my knee is going to give or lock when I'm going down stairs. I have to keep leg straight 2 avoid pain. No swelling at anytime. I feel I will not be able to be active again , knee just hurts too bad. What can i do? Thank you 4 helping me!
