****Floaty bit in knee****

[FruitynNutty]

I slipped and fell heavily on my left knee about 6 weeks ago.
Know every time I kneel and put any kind of weight on my knee I get a terrible shooting pain through it.
I had a feel of both of my knees to see if there was any physical difference and found a hard loose bit of something in the injured one.
It feels as if a bit of bone has broken off and it just lying around in there.

Is it worth going to the GP? Or is it one of those things that nothing can be done about?
DP thinks it will probably give me trouble later on in life if I don't get it looked at.

I'm hoping it will get better soon as I'm due to give birth in March and am hoping to be able to do this on all fours!

now not know

Go to the GP and get referred to an orthopaedic surgeon. If there is a bit loose in there then they can remove it laprascopically

yes and get him to refer to lower limb orthopaedic consultant who can do a simple knee arthroscopy if needs be to have a look inside and see whats what.

Oh just realised your pregnant due March me too

May not do surgery whilst pregnant- due to anaesthetic risk- but def ask for referral.

OMG that sounds painful

Oooh, lilymolly I think I recognise your name actually. Do you post on the "due in March" thread? I sort f gave up when it got so big blush but pop in every so often.

So I'd better go to the GP then, humph, it just takes up so much of my time. Bloody flip flops, they are a health hazard I tell you!

Oh My God someone recognised me I am sooooooo proud

Yes thats me! Yes I also gave up on the March thread too- far too big

Oh its not that painful I am sure- Just a small incision about 2cms each side one to insert the camera and the other to insert any instruments

Dead easy honest x

Cant claim to have had one but observed 100s
