bangkok blue Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Dislocated my knee cap again and this time have some swelling. Can walk, not in any pain and have done this several times. Think I better get it checked out as it is a recurring injury. Has anyone had any good experiences with any Docs that deal with this injury? Any advice appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrtmedic Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Dr. Chanakot at Rajivej does knee surgery. Before considerdering anything radical (such as surgury) you should be stengthening you quadracepts (the mucles on the front off your thigh). This can be achieved with the assistance of a physiotherapist or you can do it on your own at a gym with guidence (if you need it) from the trainers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androssi Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Dr Panya at Bumrungrad He is operating on many (farang) sports people here... and I don't think he will recommend to operate if physio & exercises will do the job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Dr. Chanakot at Rajivej does knee surgery. Yep and I can tell you he's recently been updating on knee techniques in Boston. His clinic is just around the corner from Rajivej - much better than seeing him in the hospital (only Friday 4-30 pm anyway) and it isn't so rushed. When he's in the country he starts his clinic at 5-30 pm Mon - Fri and 9am Sat. Address: 407/2 Charoenprathet Road Number:053 204545 Staff seem to answer phone around 5 pm.

uptheos Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks, great help.... Does anyone know if Dr Chanakot accepts BUPA? If you make an appointment to see him through Rajivej Hospital, then BUPA is accepted for sure. I'm not sure about his clinic though. As a previous poster said, Dr Paiboon at RAM has a good reputation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
