Just blew my knee out - Working out what to do next...
 

I have just done something major to my knee - Scream out loud pain - Made it back to my chair but that's it - Not sure if I should call an ambulance or wait until my GP opens in a few hours....

I have taken a couple of Ibuprofen that I had in the drawer - I guess I will see if that kicks in...

OUCH!!!

ice it and go to bed

Ice, compress and elevate.:2 cents:

ice it up, head to the doctor in the AM and rest up.

Bed is a long 2 flights of stairs down, not going to happen :( - Just found a blue pill in the drawer - Pretty sure its Valium - That will at least relax me a bit...

I am going to do what every 42 year old man (after he has told GFY) does when he is in pain - I'm going to call my mum!

Just get drunk.

RICE = Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

I am one step ahead of you on that - Just a small technical hitch though.....

Think about it.

My knee just went 'crunch' - I screamed and then it was OK - Glad I didn't call the ambulance - I would have felt a right old drama queen....

acl is common problem in men over 40. If it's not that then give it 10 days be careful it will heal

I thought it might be my acl at first - but it was defiantly a bone thing - That noise could only have been bone....

It was like a really bad gear change:Oh crap..

Do i honestly need to be the first to state the obvious and tell you that you need to go to the doctor and most likely get an MRI to see what you tore and how bad it is?

Icing your knee and elevating it isn't to reattach torn ligaments

You are speaking the truth - When that little blue pill stops working I will be at the Doctors....

The world should be made of little blue pills:1orglaugh.

I just had surgery on Thursday. Im hurting pretty bad

Sorry to hear that - I feel a bit silly for making such a fuss before - It did fucking hurt though....

The secret is to know how many drugs your allowed.

Good luck on getting that checked out, injuries are sure no fun.

Sounds like you tore some meniscus (cartlidge) and that crunching sound you hear are tears or small broken off pieces that are interfering with your knee joint movement.

Did you have an ACL reconstruction?

Well, you're a fruitcake for a reason.

if it hurts bad....like being shot in your knee and not seeing it coming....it's your ACL... meniscus tears aren't near as bad....

sports medicine clinic. A good Occupational Therapist is what you need.




.:2 cents:

i think you'll be fine.

Hey!!

I'd like to see you take 12 inc...

hahahaha nice
