Speaking of injuries...Many of you know of my chronic knee issues. I have a lateral pataller

Well yesterday, as I was using the restroom, it happened. I leaned down to flush, and POP! I slammed into both sides of the stall, in an attempt to catch myself, and was somewhat successful. I've haven't had a mishap in awhile, probably not since July. I've had close calls, but caught myself before anything could happen. But this time was different. I think since I tried to catch myself, my quads went into flexion which may have pulled my petalla tight against the femur as it was in transition. Cause it has never hurt this bad before. Usually I can walk just fine after a few seconds of the insident, but not this time. Even today I'm having a hard time with even putting weight on it to walk up the stairs or to end push a door open.
I'm suppose to be doing exercises, but I hate being on the floor for hours trying to work up a burn. My last doctor told me that the best exercise is to ride a bike, plan and simple...but I don't have one anymore...I just need to exercise period. Or just get the surgery to get it fixed...

That sounds painful. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Would insurance cover that kind of surgery?
