I...may not be going to get sushi for dinner and seeing a movie. This shit really hurts if I move at all. It doesn't hurt as long as I have my leg propped up and don't move.
Fortunately, we are so decrepit and falling apart that we have many icepacks.
Yeah, don't make it worse.
Is an ER visit getting serious consideration?
Oh no! Knees really are stupid
Whoever designed these mortal bodies should have been fired and replaced with a competent engineer.
Ugh Steph, knees really are the worst when they don't knee properly.
Is an ER visit getting serious consideration?
If it seems worse tomorrow, then yes. But I figure I can do rest, ice, compression, elevation, and ibuprofen at home for the first 24 hours and see if that calms it down.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry your knee isn't kneeing properly, Steph.
I've reached the life stage where one or the other knee decides its not happy, without much in the way of doing anything that should have excited it. I fear the day when one of them will just stay like that....
Oh, man, Steph! That really stinks. I hope the ice and elevation and i uprofen help a TON and it feels better tomorrow.
I'm just super happy it happened at home, on the 4 steps leading to the front porch, instead of last week at the beach, where all the houses are on stilts and therefore have a minimum of 1 flight of stairs just to get into a place (our AirBnB had 2 flights from the driveway to the front door -- one day I said in exasperation "Next year, I will definitely start training my quads a month before vacation!"), because hurting my knee there would have sucked.
One more dose of ibuprofen before bed, and hopefully it'll hurt less tomorrow.
