I’ve done it again. This time I tangled with the throw rug in the master bathroom, but me thinks I’ve done my left knee in, again.
Just over a year ago, I tore the meniscus cartilage in my knee. This time, I couldn’t put weight on the knee and it was swollen down into my foot. The doctor said nothing broken, she wanted to check because of the swelling. She gave me a topical ointment for pain, which is some good stuff; sent me home to grease it up and stay off it! She also did a cortisone shot…worked….ehh???
She said when I return; if it is no better, she’ll get a joint MRI (where they inject die in the knee) to see what the damage is. If needed, we’ll talk surgery then.
I truly prefer not to hear those words, but I have to be able to walk. I asked the doctor; if they have to operate, can I get a 2 for 1 deal? I’ve dealt with my solid tumor in my right wrist, the doctor has said it will need to come out. I figure, while I’m asleep, let them fix both. Save me one episode of general anesthesia. We’ll see. I’m ready to NOT be in pain!
Sorry to hear about this 😦 I hope you can stay away from the s-word
Thanks! I do not want to hear the S-word either.
OH no, Jill! I just found this post. How is it today? Is it getting any better?
No better, I’m afraid. I’m trying to get used to being put to sleep again. This will be number 14 since 2008.I’m walking on it, but it hurts. It is my bad leg, so I kinda limp with it to start, so not much pressure on the knee. See doc again Thursday! Thank for asking…….Jillxxoo
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jill.
Thank you!
UGH… feel better soon!
Thank you!
Thanks!
feel better
Thanks!
So sorry! Have you considered acupuncture?
Appointment this week!
I feel your pain, as I have fallen a few times over the years myself. Might I suggest acupuncture treatment for the pain and swelling.
Thank you, I’ve been thinking about it!
I am sorry to hear about this, and hope you won’t need surgery, a dirty word isn’t it? Heal quickly my friend!
Thank you,John…you are so sweet!
