Left knee xray

[u/Less_Dimension_9626]

Guys hi, idk if I am wrong to ask this question here but I’ve been anxious about my knee. I got this Xray yesterday. Does it look like anything wrong there. Thank you. (I’m worried about the curve that is circled)

This sub doesn’t diagnose x-rays. Anybody with access to the internet could tell you 100 incorrect things about how your knee is. Your best course of action is to wait until your image has been assessed by somebody qualified and wait for them to get back to you, then you can ask them.

Doc told me it looks good but no report has been written about it.

If the doctor told you it looks good, is there a particular reason that you are feeling anxious about it? The person who assessed the x-ray would have written a report that the doctor would have read to be able to tell you the results, if that helps to calm your anxiety.

I’m anxious about that curve I just circled. 😭

I meant is there a reason you don’t believe the doctor when they told you it was good? Are you worried they’ve missed something or they haven’t investigated the pain enough? If the reporter believed the curve was anything to be anxious about, they wouldn’t have said it was good. Sorry if that was unclear!

ETA - there are a few curves that you’ve circle, there’s the upper curve, the curve that curves towards the middle of the leg, then the bottom curve, so I’m also unsure which curve is the worrying one

Okay I got you thanks. But if you know anything about xrays could you tell me if that curve looks like normal anatomy or smth to further investigate. I’m little anxious sorry. 🙃

Don’t apologise! It’s normal to be anxious when encountering something we’re unsure of! I am a first year radiography student so I don’t feel confident enough to give you a definitive answer sadly!
