Watwheels Supersonic July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 (edited) Call 995 and have the ambulance sent you to A&E immediate surgery. I dun understand. You rather risk having an infection(I think already damn infected cos you can't walk) dan spent the 1k to do a scan but you would rather pay more to see a pte doc....oh you do know it cost more to see a pte doc and admit into a pte hospital? And to do a scan in a pte cost more dan 1k? Call 995 before you loose your leg. The inflammation in your knee is no joke, if crystalised lagi worst. You end up paying more cos you delay too much.

Heeheehaahaa79 Neutral Newbie July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 Hi Bro, MRI for 1 knee is abt 700 for private at CGH. It's takes abt 1 week before they complete the analysis for the scan. Which means u still have to wait before u can proceed with surgery. Are ur knees very swollen and feel that the knee is loose & buckling? If so u cld have torn ur ligaments... U wld require surgery to repair it takes abt 6 to 9 mths to recover with plenty of rehab between.. U could ignore the surgery if ur lifestyle permits but seek advise from doc. If u have problems straightening ur knees.. Ur meniscus cld be torn.. Doc will scope & determine either to remove or repair. Remove is easier to recover. U cld even walk aft op. Repair will take longer time abt 3 mths more as u have to immobilize the knee to let the torn menicus heal back. $$$ is imp but if u can still afford, quickly check & dun delay treatment !!

Ocean6576 4th Gear July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 Wanna save money, go polyclinic, ask doctor to give refer letter, perhaps may squeeze you in at the earliest appointment, then everything will be at a subsidized rate then. Also check if you can pay by Medisave then. Of course do it at your own risks though for your knee been swollen for 3 weeks already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfade Clutched July 12, 2011 Share July 12, 2011 Bro, which doc did u go to? Follow the other bros advice. It sounds serious. Might have torn ur ACL. Hope not. Might have to Ice it to bring down the swelling. Take care bro. Health more important than money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are kidding with us this is ticklish. If you are not, this is serious knee injury that can have you bedridden soon. I am not surprise if 5-figure medical treatment required by then. You want to save $2k to pay for 5-figure? A brother of mine already went through such agony last year (had to be hospitalised for weeks). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whathefish 5th Gear July 13, 2011 Share July 13, 2011 Bro....Knee is rather important....$ can earn back but not the Knee... Solve the problem when u r young so it will heal faster n better...not till u r old...

Unitek 1st Gear July 13, 2011 Share July 13, 2011 Since you are already unable to walk, i dont think even government doctor will reject you from going to Hospital. Try visit a private docyor for second opinion. They are more than willing to admit you to nearest hospital and have an MRI done. You need to stay at least a night to cliam insurance for it. Private doctors know what to do, just tell them your problem and you need to claim insurance. Of course, dont try to 'keng' for any other reasons lar! btw, my meniscus was torn >10yr ago. no need op since i'm no sports man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5266 Supercharged July 13, 2011 Share July 13, 2011 Wats e diff between Orthopaedic n Chiropractic docs? My understanding... Orthopaedic uses knife and drug to solve problem. Chiropractic - The root cause of all problem is the spine. Get the spine right, all problem will be cured. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
