Your left knee is 'out of place' and you aren't going to the DR? There is something seriously wrong if your knee is out of place. See a DR or go to the4 ER as soon as possible.
Knees are very delicate - it doesn't take long for your muscles to atrophy (waste away) and your knee to become permanently impaired.

Donna I am so sorry and feel so bad for you. But girlfriend you just HAVE to get that knee looked at by a profesional. Please! Do not wait another day. You may really regret it & we do not want that for you. {{{{{HUGE HUGS}}}}}

Thanks for all your well wishes. I really appreciate them and your prayers.I have had this knee torn out so many times. I weigh over 400 pounds and I doubt right now I could even get down the steps to go to a doctor. I have been to the ER many, many times before and all they tell me is that I am too big for the largest support brace they have. I can't have surgery on my knees because my heart is wearing out. I don't have any blockages as I had an arteriorgram earlier this year.
I have honestly tried to lose weight. I think some of my meds go against me. I have neuropathy, arthritis, mytosis and live with severe pain all the time. I try to stay busy with cross stitching when I am not able to sew. My house needs cleaning and my daughter that is supposed to help with that is on a trip to Florida.

I will be up and around in a few days. When the swelling goes down I can set the knee myself. My old chiropractor showed me and my husband how to do it before he retired.
I have appleied for and been turned down 4 times on my disability. I guess as long as I am able to run my mouth they consider it able to work. At least I have strong jaw muscles. LOL
