exercises for knee injury

[catalinaa]

Where can i find exercises for knee injury? haven't gone to the orthopedist's or physical therapists yet because my injury just happened. I Went to the ER and i have medial Mencius injury and knee effusion ( water on the knee) But since i have been in this brace, i cant move my leg that much on it's own power. I am afraid of muscle atrophy. I was wondering if there is a site where they have simple exercises i can do to keep my leg from totally being useless till the DR. calls back.

Doctor and physio should be able to give you specifics when they get back to you.
Make sure you get a decent plan of what to do.
I'd suggest swimming is probably a safe bet as it's non-impact, however don't work too hard on your kick and avoid breast-stroke as it involves funny angles in the knees.
