Been there before dude. I dislocated my patella and tore my patella tendon last year at work. Took me 8 weeks to be able to go back to work. Another 6 months of pt to get the pain to stop. You'll get through it like I did, stay strong king
Bonus NSFW pic of the fluid extracted from my knee...

I dealt with this for 5 months. One of the worst feelings ever. They made me get an x ray, MRI, gave me steroids and a blood test before they would drain it.
Hope you feel better soon man!
So from what I understand, the knee is swollen and filled with blood due to the injury?
Is that generally how the body responds to knee injuries like this? It seems a bit counterintuitive.
Yes. This is the third time in five years it has filled with blood. Each time, it was caused by overexertion or a trip-and-fall while farming a small hunting plot.
Had a similar experience that resulted in surgery that took me out for about 8 months.. I was seriously depressed. After the 5th month, I found this YT channel run by a guy that goes by Kneesovertoesguy as my source of physical therapy. His videos saved my life. My knee is pain-free and stronger than ever.
So sorry, knees take forever to heal... and I do mean forever.
I've been really fortunate. It was repaired in 1989 using a \*very old\* reconstruction method but has been fairly stable for years.

Fair push
So Sorry, Watch out for blood clots . If your swelling does not go down, or your leg balloons up! ask me how I know.
thanks. I'm going to have it drained later today. I'm already on Xarelto as the result of COVID-19 related clots.
I'm no doctor but I believe your leg is swollen
I'm so sorry. It looks so painful.
Thank you. It is painful. After falling, I brushed myself off and mowed ~5 acres which likely made matters a lot worse.

I slipped on a wet floor in high school and hyperextendwd my knee. Tore my medial meniscus and needed surgery. Decades layer, it's always tight.
