Once again, my damn knee
Jun. 6th, 2008 09:53 pmStood up this afternoon to attend to the buzzer telling me the sourdough was most likely done and my knee hyperextended. Shit. I stood for a few moments on the other leg, then tried gingerly to stand on my bad leg when it buckled at the knee. Fabulous.
Two Alleve, hot soaking bath and elevation later it still hurts. Not "go to ER" hurt, "cursing the stupidity of shitty engineering" kind of hurt. Swelling and aching on the inside of the knee and front, though it held my weight the rest of the evening just fine. Obviously, I took it seriously easy as I slowly fed the bunnies and dogs this evening.
While I appreciate that I've got bursitis in that knee, I really don't think it should be hyperextending and buckling a few times a week with that diagnosis.
Looks like another visit to the Doctor for me.
