damaged knee

[bobdeb]

Last Sunday I fell and I twisted my knee, it is still no better and now wearing a support, apparently my knee is very swollen though I cant see any difference from the other one!!!!! It is constatntly aching and now and then I feel a warm 'rush' through it????

You should elevate your knee and keep a packet of frozen peas on it to reduce the swelling. Also take Ibuprofen which is an anti-inflammatory. if you don't like drugs you can take Devils Claw from Holland and Barrett. Finally REST it and don't walk on it.

wish I was then perhaps I would get some sympathy!!! Did mine walking across the countryside on Saturday morning, but being a martyr or being a woman I havnt wallowed in the pain, and have carried on working etc, not like some men!!!!

Have you been to the Doctors bob? Work collegeue fell whilst on rollerskates twisted her knee and tore her crucial ligament! You may need physio! She was off work for 4 months.
Best to get it checked out.

Go to the doctors, you need to get it seen to, I speak as one who is suffering a damaged knee since last November, and it now looks as if i'm going to lose my job through it.
Sounds as if you've got some`fluid there, and if you have, it needs to be drained.
