I don't get to see the orthopedic before 9 days now is there anything i can do for my chronic knee instability pain till i go to that appointment?

Knee Pain: Taking weight off of that leg will help with the pain (ie: using crutches). If you are unable to do so, trying avoiding movements that recreate the pain/instability until you can be evaluated by your orthopedic physican.

Knee instability: Use crutches or some aide to avoid the knee from repeatedly going out. Use ice and elevate the extremity.
