    Dude im scared, my legs swelling up BAD

    I've got some vicoden 10's i can take for the pain, but im afraid it might make it worse.

    I'm laying in bed (except for writing this) with my leg propped way up in the air for 4 hours now, iced down pretty good.

    The injury is to the knee, but my entire leg & foot is swollen, so im icing that too. Should i be concentrating on my knee icing, or should i be icing my leg/foot.

    The doctors don't open till 9 or 10. Any help is appreciated. Would it be advisable to take this pain medication, or could it be making it worse?

            Naa i can't i've only got a couple thousand saved up since i got back into the business, & that will be gone in an hour if i do that, & i'll NEVER go through that again without the best insurance (which im currently looking for), and the car insurance is only paying $5,000, which is about all used up since i got the MRI & 6 office visits now. Plus i have physical therapy coming up.

            Not having universal healthcare really takes a toll on the middle class...if something bad happens you can lose your $500,000 house, your car, everything. Oh & bush passed a new law saying you can't declare bankruptcy based on medical bills. But fuck him, i'm paying back my debts, they'll be done by the end of summer.

            I'm just wondering if its safe to take another pain pill, prop it up & wait it out.

            The doctor said there would be swelling, i might just be having an anxiety attack. This sucks really bad.

              Yes, go to the ER. If you don't, take the drugs.

                  It would be best to go to the ER and I am no doctor but have dealt with swelling before. But if you don't want to do that ice everything from the knee down. I don't think you need to concentrate on any one area. Just be careful when you ice because ice directly on the skin can cause frostbite really easily. I have seen way too many people do that. Keep it elevated and rest and go to the doctor first thing in the morning. Call a friend or someone to come over and watch over you would be good too and would also be good incase you do decide to go to the ER.

                  Good way to remember what to do for swelling (RICE)
                  R - rest
                  I - ice
                  C - compress
                  E - elevate

                    Hey since you can't go to the ER you can also call your doctor and usually there is an on call doctor you can contact and he will call you and you can ask him about any concerns you have. I have done that many many times.

                          Don't fuck around with stuff that keeps getting worse. A single tiny blood clot can kill you if it dislodges and gets into your brain or heart. I'd be at the ER pronto.

                                Yup, but he broke a bone in his leg, femur I think.

                                But just the same. Internal damage to bone probably can yield the same thing.

                                PR0, I am not trying to scare ya dude, ya better get to the Dr's though. Really.

                                    Its far better to lose some money/property than a limb or your life. Go to the ER.

                                          ER is going to do the same thing that you are doing. They may give you a shot or something, then bill the fuck out of you, and send you home. Just hang on, but if you start to loose sensation in your toes, you need to get to the ER.

                                                  Go to the ER, especially if you lose feeling. This means that blood is not getting where it needs to..

                                                  You can make payments, you don't have to pay the whole balance at once. I sure as fuck don't. This'll sound like B.S., but even if you send $1.00 a month that's good enough.

                                                      OK...based on the dozens of legal commercials they play here in Phoenix - the bankruptcy law is changing but it hasn't officially come through yet.

                                                      I am not a doctor, but I do have a neuroscience degree and *some* med school. The best thing you can do is elevate your leg, stay *extremely* hydrated and if you choose to wait it out until the a.m. call your doc first thing and yell to high hell until they agree to see you asap.

                                                      Hope you are feeling better soon. A swelled leg can be very serious, get some help as soon as you can.

                                                        Go get it checked! The worst thing of my husband's disablility after his bike crash was swelling in the leg and especially the knee...it led to leg ulcers. Don't fuck with your legs and/or circulation.

                                                          I love it how you are worried about money because you have to go to the hospital.

                                                          Americans laugh at Canadians but one thing they have that the British has is a free health care service.

                                                          What I would do is move to Canada, then you wont have to worry about paying for health care.

Plus i have physical therapy coming up.

                                                            Not having universal healthcare really takes a toll on the middle class...if something bad happens you can lose your $500,000 house, your car, everything. Oh & bush passed a new law saying you can't declare bankruptcy based on medical bills. But fuck him, i'm paying back my debts, they'll be done by the end of summer.

                                                            I'm just wondering if its safe to take another pain pill, prop it up & wait it out.

                                                            The doctor said there would be swelling, i might just be having an anxiety attack. This sucks really bad.

                                                                  If the doctor refers me to the emergency room then the auto insurance should pay for it. Otherwise anyone in canada feel like having me up for a friendly visit?

                                                                  Its amazing before the accident i was gonna have a sit down with ElvisManson up in Toronto...& some other guys. I've got shitty luck i guess!

                                                                  Anyways 30 mins till the doctors open up! And thanks for the well wishes!

                                                                  P.S. Not having insurance can ruin your credit, i'm not worried about payment plants etc., but things like MRI's & private surgeries get sent to collection agencies, & i want to be able to buy a house in florida this fall.

                                                                        If the doctor refers me to the emergency room then the auto insurance should pay for it. Otherwise anyone in canada feel like having me up for a friendly visit?

                                                                        Its amazing before the accident i was gonna have a sit down with ElvisManson up in Toronto...& some other guys. I've got shitty luck i guess!

                                                                        Anyways 30 mins till the doctors open up! And thanks for the well wishes!

                                                                        P.S. Not having insurance can ruin your credit, i'm not worried about payment plants etc., but things like MRI's & private surgeries get sent to collection agencies, & i want to be able to buy a house in florida this fall.

                                                                        Not gonna be much help moving into your new house.... on stubs....

                                                                        Id be the first in line..... at the doctors office...

                                                                        hope you get better

                                                                            b- if you have chinese friends ask them if they know who can help you with that, cheap.

                                                                            d- take aspirin to avoid clogs

Plus i have physical therapy coming up.

                                                                                            Not having universal healthcare really takes a toll on the middle class...if something bad happens you can lose your $500,000 house, your car, everything. Oh & bush passed a new law saying you can't declare bankruptcy based on medical bills. But fuck him, i'm paying back my debts, they'll be done by the end of summer.

                                                                                            I'm just wondering if its safe to take another pain pill, prop it up & wait it out.

                                                                                            The doctor said there would be swelling, i might just be having an anxiety attack. This sucks really bad.

                                                                                                  If the doctor refers me to the emergency room then the auto insurance should pay for it. Otherwise anyone in canada feel like having me up for a friendly visit?

                                                                                                  Its amazing before the accident i was gonna have a sit down with ElvisManson up in Toronto...& some other guys. I've got shitty luck i guess!

                                                                                                  Anyways 30 mins till the doctors open up! And thanks for the well wishes!

Not having insurance can ruin your credit, i'm not worried about payment plants etc., but things like MRI's & private surgeries get sent to collection agencies, & i want to be able to buy a house in florida this fall.
