Been on going started with pain late summer that seem to get better only to suddenly get worse. Saw the physio in November who thought it was most likely the meniscus giving me trouble. As they are slow the heal to give it 4-5 months.
Things got much better and knee was geting back to normal. Was so pleased when I managed a 5 mile walk with only small amount of pain (even 1/2 mile had been so painful).
Then it started to get pains again and felt like might lock or give way. Then last tuesday climbing over a large step felt the knee give way. Some pain afterwards but was getting better till last night the knee sudden gave way. Couldn't move for a fwe seconds then sudden shooting pain when I tried to move the knee. Couldn' t sleep because shooting pain evertime I moved the knee. Saw Doctor this morning (had to be driven because can't drive without pain) given strong pain killers and referred back to physio plus been booked in for X-ray.
Almost a month before I see the physio, off work today but can't be for long. Any help or advice greatful.
