OT docs. Need a "leg" doc recommendation for my friend Bill
Posted on 8/3/17 at 12:56 pm

I've personally seen Chip Bankston and Rick Ahmed (in Baton Rouge) and liked them both. However, Chip specializes on the shoulder and Rick on the hand and I don't have anyone that I can recommend for muscular / leg.
My partner, Bill Clover, recently hurt himself and appears to have pulled/strained/torn his quadricep. I've helped him ice it for 20 minutes, elevated his leg, applied BioFlex for him, wrapped it (his leg sillies) and made him down Advil, while mostly following the R.I.C.E. method.
Bill said he heard a "pop" when his accident occurred and immediately could not walk and still can't. It's more of a hobble and getting in and out of a vehicle is a challenge, because he can't bend his knee either without going into excruciating pain.
Other than time and rest, is there anything else that he can (or I) can do? Is it worth even seeing a doctor?

I asked, but he is camera shy.

Do tell.
I'm looking at his delicious knee right now and he has pain that is deep in his quadriceps muscle, but can't bend his knee. His only relief is to lay down and keep his leg as straight as he can.
Could we have misdiagnosed his injury?
He said there is a "burn" when he tries to bend his knee.

There is nothing "straight" about this thread.

This is true. But he's a swell guy and I would do anything for him.

edit: and I agree with previous poster, "pop" is your ligament going bye bye.

No idea on doc, but go to BRPT-Lake for therapy. You dont need a doctor referral anymore. If the issue needs more than PT, they will refer you to the right doc for your issue.

Based upon his story and how he recalls it, it was definitely a "pop."
The tenderness is mostly in his quadricep, but radiates to his knee and when watching him walk earlier today, he almost lost his balance due to instability.
May be time for him to pay a doctor or physical therapist a visit.

I'm willing to bet the doctor is going to tell him he has lost his MCL or its a high grade sprain.
You literally described what happens in an MCL injury.

How long ago did this happen? I pulled a quad many years ago. I remember that it wasn't a quick healing time.

Just admit you got hurt

Didn't even think it could have been knee related before he asked me to start this thread.

Less than 24 hours ago.

Tell Bill that the pain in his quad is his body protecting the ligament injury. The quad is functioning in an atypical manner due to the instability of said ligament.

I'd say mcl sprain or a grade 1 tear
