Injured Knee?!
Question:
Injured Knee?
Yesterday while playing beach volleyball i twisted my left knee. i felt mild pain initally but was able to bear weight. i used the RICE method and when i woke up called my DR he could not see me until thursday so i went to the ER after a brief exam i was told that i sprained my mcl. the PA said for me to ice and elevate with non weight bearing for 24 hrs then to limit weight bear as tolorated for the next 48, but i was told it would be ok to work. i work as a CNA and i am on my feet for 16 hrs a day. How am i supossed to work with limited weightbearing when my job requires consatnt weightbearing? What should i do?
