General Medical Question - Non Urgent - just a question

[dynamitekid1992]

a few weeks ago i hurt my knee while dancing, i went to hospital and they bandaged it and told me to just keep it elevated and take over the counter pain relief and it should be fine in a week or so.
iv done that and it seems to be getting worse, my knee cap has swollen up again. i cant put weight on it and hurts to bend. i phoned nhs 24 and they said just to see my GP tomorrow. just wondering if my GP doesnt say anything, if i can ask for a referal to physiotherapist and to get a referal letter for crutches or something until it eases, just to make it easier to get around my house while my knee is so painful? thank you for any replies x

As you are seeking medical advice for this, we can't really respond.

However I will say, ask if you can self reffer if they don't think you need it.

As you will be getting advice from a doctor, like Katy said, we cannot really respond. Good luck with the appointment, though, and I am glad that you are getting your knee seen to.
