Last Tuesday I dislocated my right patella for the second time. The last dislocation was six years ago to the day. With the last dislocation, I experienced some pain and swelling for a few days afterward, but it was nothing severe. This time, I am unable to bear much weight on the leg. When I attempt to bear weight, I have an intense amount of pressure right in the front of my kneecap. I also have a searing pain behind the kneecap. It is horrifically swollen and I have pockets of what feel like fluid all over the knee. Is this normal? I had an MRI on Thursday but haven't received a result yet. My next follow up is on the 11th & my doctor is extremely difficult to reach by phone. I've been applying ice every few hours and taking ibuprofen for the pain but nothing seems to be helping. Any ideas? Thanks!
