I think i might have done something a bit serious to my knee in my sleep.
I was sleeping and turned over to the left but my knee and bottom of my leg was still pointing right. I heard a pop and felt a tear but kind of just physically moved my leg. The pain was bad. This morning I could hobble a bit but I can't straighten my leg.
I have pain in my left side of right knee.
It has noticeable swollen and is hot.
I have done RICE
I'm worried ive done something to either the ACL or MCL.
Unfortunately I have eye surgery tomorrow so cannot miss that.
But aibu to go to A&E( or urgent care afterwards)?
Or ainbu to wait till Monday for the gp?

Try and get the knee seen to before the surgery, you can explain in A&E that you have surgery booked

Went to A&E, forgot to update. Ive torn my ACL. Another appointment in 2 weeks once the swelling goes down.
