Something happened to my knee this
morning. I do not believe it to be a
full knee dislocation, but I am not sure
what happened, so I will describe as best
I can.
First, I should note that I have a
relevant medical condition. My hip bone
is slightly deformed. My right leg
connects higher than my left leg. I had
surgery when I was a kid on my left knee
to close a growth plate and reduce the
descrepency. I am sure this causes some
alignment issues throughout.
Now to this morning. I was sitting on a
chair, putting on my boots. I had my
right knee up and out, and my right tibia
at an angle...Slipping my foot into my
boot. All of a sudden something moved.
It felt like my tibia slipped out of the
joint (slipped to the right) , then
repositioned itself. It was a painful
and scary feeling. The rest of the
morning the leg/knee felt "shaky" but no
pain. I do not have any discoloration or
swelling. So I know it wasn't a full
dislocation. But what happened? It was
odd enough that I have to know, but not
bad enough that I need to go to the Dr.
Thanks for the help.
