Yeah, don't make it worse.
Is an ER visit getting serious consideration?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ugh Steph, knees really are the worst when they don't knee properly.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry your knee isn't kneeing properly, Steph.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
~ma Steph! knees are bullshit!
and so are slow healing ankles. any where on the bipedal system is painful and fragile. poorly designed indeed!
in other news...while I;m waiting to do another CAT on my ankle to see i f my bone simulator has improved the ankle, I now have a toothache. one of my older crowns. but as things are right now it with the ankle and all of the difficulties just getting down to the parking lot of my building, it would be a lot of bother to get there. So, I'm trying to wait until I have permission to put weight on this thing. It's been 6.5 months and I am very very tired of it.
