i got xrays done...i dont see them until monday....to see exactly whats wrong....
will she give me stronger pain medicine? or what?

Answer 1

oh my... and youre only 17....
well, im not a doctor, but i think you will get stronger medicine if the pain has increased. what type of medicine are you taking now? maybe it is a weak type. what i would do in your situation is ask your doctor for stronger medication if they dont give you any. hopefully, you wont need any surgery.

see if you can withstand the pain until monday. if you cant, try to research onlinr for a good pain killer that you can get at your local pharmacy. or try this website.

i never ordered from them personally, so i dont know if theyre reliable. good luck, kiddo.

Answer 2

I have dislocated my knees and I know what you're going through. You may need stronger pain medicine for now, but what you really need is to get into physical therapy to strengthen the muscles. physical therapy is going to reduce the pain and you will feel much better.

For now apply an ice pack on the area of pain for ten minutes, several times a day.

Answer 3

THAT IS UP TO UR DOCTOR IF THIS CONTINUES, CALL THE EMERGENCY ROOM @ THE HOSPITAL SHE WORKS IN. In the meantime: Elevate ur knees, put ice on them, and if you can tolerae this, put ace wraps on both knees. take the pain meds she prescribed to you, AND if you can take more as needed, do so. BUT DO THIS ONLY IF YOU GET APPROAL FROM A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL!
Take Care & Good Luck!!
