I can't believe I am back on this group with a different injury. The torn
back muscles from coughing back in Feb. have healed and the coughing
abruptly stopped in time for me to go and have an angiogram, which proved
the coronary arteries are clear. I stopped imbibing alcohol so there should
be no more congestion, hence coughing..

This knee injury is a freak accident where two large dogs chasing each other
in my friend's yard crashed into my right knee from the side and knocked me
down. The pain is intolerable and I can't move the leg around but can stand
on it enough to shuffle along. I have not gone to a doctor yet but hope to
get a referral to an orthopedic surgeon after some MRI images of the knee
joint.

My question is: if I stay off the leg, keep it immobile as much as possible
and let some time elapse, is it likely to heal by itself? I can't feel any
abnormal crepitis and the bones etc. seem to be in correspondence with my
left knee so nothing seems out of place. This is the type of injury that is
commonplace in football I believe.
