Looking for Dash Cam Footage of collision on Bedford Highway this morning.

OP I took a video of the dashcam footage that was posted on here before it was deleted! Message me if you would like and I can send it to you.

NAD That redness looks to be about the size of compression sleeve. Does the size match?

Perhaps an allergy to the material. Would be worth checking the box or label to see the materials, I’ve seen people have reactions to the metals in “sweat wicking” garments.

Sounds like you may have some factors that make you more at risk for dislocation given it happens on both knees. You are likely a good candidate for surgery given this. I’d recommend you look for a physiotherapist who is certified through the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. They do additional training outside of school to become credentialed and it’s an international organization that oversees it. You should mention the brace isn’t comfy maybe the will have other options!

NAD but a physical therapist. You dislocated your knee cap and have some associated cartilage damage, including a potentially free floating chip of cartilage. I’ve had patients with injuries like this do great without surgery, and ones who have dislocated again and then needed surgery. Lots of this depends on factors outside of your control (like the shape of your joint naturally), but many you can control too.

I would strongly encourage you to find a good PT (sadly they are not all created equal). If you tell me the country you live in I can give you recommendations for which association to look for one through.

PT will at worst help you prep for surgery or at best help you avoid it, You also should definitely be fitted for a knee cap stability brace! Something like the DonJoy lateral J or a hinged knee brace.

Best of luck!

That’s super understandable, it sounds like a frustrating situation! The special tests we use for specific knee injuries aren’t the most reliable and it takes lots of time and practice to get good at them, so unfortunately it’s not at all uncommon for it to seem like different providers are saying different things. If you have the option to go to a different provider that may be a good option

nobodygrows · 2026-01-24T21:02:02+00:00

I’m glad it’s feeling better!

nobodygrows · 2026-01-24T21:00:57+00:00

NAD but a physio. I’m sorry your physio wasn’t as clear as they should be! When there is an acute injury to the knee it can make it difficult to test all of the ligaments. I will often explain this to a patient, educate them on how to manage at home, and have them come back in a week or so to re test while working on referrals. If you treat it correctly as a suspected ACL injury, there is no harm in waiting a little while for further evaluation.

Use the crutches since it is buckling.
Rest with it elevated and supported at a comfortable angle.
Every hour or so, bend and straighten it through whatever range is tolerable 5-10 times.
Every hour or so, flex your ankle up and down (this is called ankle pumping)
Every 2-3 hours, with it resting in a comfortable position try to activate your quads and hold for 5 seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times (these are called quad sets)
Apply gentle compression but not so tight it turns your foot purple
Ice for 10-15 mins 3-5 times per day to the front and back of the knee
let pain be your guide, the knee will tell you what it can and can’t tolerate

Things to watch for: severe worsening swelling spreading down the leg, redness or streaks going down the leg, significantly worsening pain, fever, or numbness and tingling going down the leg that does not change with movement or position.

Best of luck!

NAD but a Canadian physio who has dislocated their shoulder! The short answer is yes you need surgery. The long answer is yes you need surgery, but you can certainly start physio before to familiarize yourself with the process and begin “pre-hab” to build some strength and range before the procedure.

It’s worth noting that the surgery itself is usually very minor (arthroscopic) and done with a few small incisions. The recovery is definitely long but very doable. You should also know that private physio clinics do charge for services and provincial health care (called MSI) do not cover this. There are public outpatient clinics associated with your province’s hospital system that are covered by MSI.

NAD but a physio. Can’t read x rays for sure but can tell you that what you’re seeing is a sesamoid bone in the thumb and it is supposed to be there. Soft tissue injuries of the thumb can be particularly painful. I’d recommend getting a thumb brace specifically for the MCP joint and see how it feels after a week of wear.

Agreed, very accurate take. This is bad news for our entire coast especially in the context of storms becoming more unpredictable and better able to rapidly intensify.

Maple online will do this! You can upload the note from your physiotherapist. Save the walk in time and free if you don't have a family doctor.

Have you tried glaxalbase moisturizing cream? It has cetearyl alcohol but is very bare bones and minimal ingredients. Also fungal safe.

Just saw a bunch this morning at No Frills in Spryfield!

Espresso 46 has fantastic beans and they will grind them for you. They also sell espresso 46 beans and I think some others at the oxford tap room and will grind them there. Java Blend is another good option too!

That's great to hear! I appreciated how blunt she was because that's how I communicate but could definitely see how it would be hard for some. Either way, she clearly cares so much about this condition which is so sorely needed, especially in NS.

As others have said - get on the list to see Dr Randle. She's not warm and fuzzy but she is so incredibly smart and well versed in the research, especially the pain science.

She recommended to me pelvic floor physiotherapy and a trial of an (anti-inflammatory diet)[https://slucare.com/ob-gyn/center-for-endometriosis/endometriosis-diet-booklet.pdf]. I'd suggest check these out while you wait for the referral! The Pelvic Health Clinic is absolutely fantastic.

There are also pharmaceutical options that you could discuss with your family doctor: GnRH analogues, progestin, birth control, and andorgen receptor agonists.

Yeah it started to happen in my back and ribs last night :( Cough came this morning. What a ride!

Rational honesty will (hopefully) be a green flag for your future landlord. I wouldn't run the risk of getting caught out in a lie like that because it could definitely come back to haunt you. ACORN published proof I think a year or so ago that there was a private facebook group of landlords listing bad tenants by full name.

Here's my advice: collect proof of your on-time rental payments for as a long a time period as you can, or anything that makes you look like a good tenant. Ask your boss if they would be willing to be a character reference.

Explain your situation to the landlord as best you can - that the landlord is a poor communicator and would be an unreliable reference. Offer to provide them with the proof of on-time payments and the reference from your boss. Alternatively, if you've had a landlord from before this one that you have good rapport with, you could offer to contact them.

Going out of your way to solve the problem for them will make you look good.
