Mariska Hargitay is beginning the recovery process after breaking her knee and her ankle and suffering a torn ligament!

The Law & Order: SVU star revealed on Instagram Wednesday that she had to go to the Hospital for Special Surgery, but that luckily her injuries did not require a surgical operation.

"#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," Hargitay, 57, wrote along with a photo of herself with a knee brace on her right leg and and a boot on her left ankle.

She added, "It's always a good idea to go to the doctor. Immediately."

Hargitay included several hashtags including: "Listen To Your Body," "Trust The Experts," "Stay Strong," "In Other Knee News," "Busting Perps With Busted Knees," "Brace Yourself" "Not The Bees Knees" and "The Queen Bees Knees."
