I rolled my motorbike and popped my knee?

Question

out of place. When I fell with the bike, my right knee was trapped under the right side of the bike. As we hit the ground, I felt my knee pop out of place to the outer-right side. After 2 years of relaxing my leg, the knee occasionally pops and hurts. I have noticed that the bones on the bottom portion of my knee joint have grown outward as if they had been fractured and swollen. Does anyone happen to know what the name of this sort of knee problem might be named? I would like to get more information on the condition before I see a doctor for self treatment purposes.

I forgot to mention that I had fluid on my knee for the two years that I was on it. It came and went depending on the amount of stress put on it. Present day, I still feel pain, but have learned when to rest it before the sweeling starts. Does anyone know what this could be called in medical terms? What would cause the inflamation and the countinued pain?

Answer 1

I always answer people' knee questions on here as I just had my 13th surgery so I am a seasoned knee injury veteran. And I will tell you what I tell everyone else. See an orthopedic (bone and joint) doctor. He/she will discuss your symptoms with you and take xrays and an mri scan. The xrays will probably show nothing, but the mri will give you your answers. The knee is a very complicated joint with 4 main ligaments and tons of cartilage including the meniscus. People on yahoo answers will give you their best guess and say "I had the same thing!" but you will never know without getting images of your knee taken. I am very knowledgeable on the subject, but I wouldn't begin to tell you what is going on without looking at images of your knee. So please, see a doctor and get it checked out....the earlier the better....you do not want to be like me and have 13 surgeries and huge scars...trust me. Good luck to you.

It sounds like you may have arthritis going on, and it also sounds like this knee got dislocated at one point. The only way to find out for sure is to have the dr evaluate the situation to see what they think is going on.
