LAW & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay hospitalized for multiple leg injuries and urged fans to "listen to your body."
Fans of the longtime show will know that Mariska's character is chasing bad guys in every episode, but her injury did not happen at work.
The 57-year-old TV actress took to Instagram to share a shocking picture where she waddled out of a hospital with a brace on her right knee and another one on her left ankle.
Along with the pic, the mom of three wrote: "#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.
"It’s always a good idea to go to the doctor. Immediately."
She finished off the post with several hashtags including Listen TO Your Body, Trust the Experts, In Other Knee News, Busting Perps with Busted Knees, Brace Yourself, Not The Bees Knees, The Queens Bees Knees.
She further added that she didn't need surgery and that she hadn't gotten injured on the set of the Law & Order: SVU.
Mariska has been filming the SUV since 1999 and she recently reunited with her former costar, Christopher Meloni, who played her partner, Elliot Stabler.
She recently wrapped up filming the 22nd season of the show and is set to continue for a few more.
The actress married her SVU co-star Peter Hermann, who played Defense Attorney Trevor Langan on the show, back in 2004.
Two years later, she gave birth to their first son, August.
In 2011, the couple adopted a baby girl, Amaya Josephine, and a few months later, they adopted another baby, Andrew.
