Mariska Hargitay reveals she broke her knee and fractured her ankle
Mariska Hargitay is on the mend after sustaining multiple injuries to her legs. The "Law & Order: SVU" star is now sporting several braces to help her injuries heal.
Taking to Instagram Wednesday to flaunt her new knee brace and boot, Hargitay captioned a snap of her walking out of the hospital, "#ThatFeelingWhen, you go to the doctor, get an MRI and find out that you have a broken knee, a hairline fracture in your ankle, and a torn ligament."
The actress shared a photo of her walking out of the Hospital for Special Surgery, located in New York City, which specializes in orthopedic surgery.
The Emmy winner then offered some sage advice, telling her 2 million followers, "It's always a good idea to go to the doctor. Immediately."
There was a silver lining to Hargitay's announcement, with the 57-year-old actress declaring she doesn't need surgery, added with a cheeky hashtag "#YouShouldSeeTheOtherGuy."
Hargitay enclosed several other hashtags in her post, adding "ListenToYourBody," "TrustTheExperts," "StayStrong," "InOtherKneeNews," "BustingPerpsWithBustedKnees," "BraceYourself" "NotTheBeesKnees" and "TheQueenBeesKnees."
She did not disclose what caused the injury but she did clarify in the caption, "Just so you know this is did NoT happen at work!"
Several of the actress' famous friends sent in their well wishes, with actress Juliana Margulies remarking in the comments section, "Oh noooooo! So sorry honey!"
