Hey Y'all! It's my first post!
So I fractured my knee last year and it's finally showed up as healed on the MRI. The pain is not like it was but sometimes it still flares up. The worst part about dancing on it before (I had not gotten attention for the injury for about 2 months..so I continued dancing on a fractured knee like a dummy) ..was where the water on the knee had occurred and i could not put any pressure on my knee so both the stage and even giving a dance was impossible. So I was fucked all around and couldn't even sit off stage to sell dances, not to mention I went back to work on it again using a cane and although I earned lots of "respect" from the customers, none of them wanted a dance from the crippled girl and respect doesn't pay my rent. So here I am a year later, and I'm scheduled to start back this week. I'm nervous about messing it up again and being out of work even longer or back in pain and non-functioning which is even worse. I have gotten permission to work every other day at first so that i don't do any back to back days because I am worried that would be too much to start with. Aside from that though, do you have any advice about returning to work after a knee fracture? What should I do and what should I definitely avoid? Any advice or experience would be so appreciated. Thanks! btw the fracture was on the inner facing joint of the right knee..exactly where the knee bends and that's why it took so long to heal...I also believe that I had some tears or nerve damage because about 3 inches on the front of my knee is completely numb and has been since i injured it.
