I have been taking ibuprofen like it is candy and it isn't even touching the pain or inflamation. I called my ortho doc hoping he was on call this weekend and luckily he was but he said he couldn't call me in anything without seeing me so I have to go see him on Monday. So until then I get to live with the pain this weekend. He said if it got to bad I could go to the E.R. but the E.R. at the hospital he is affilitated with is slower than than snot on a doorknob and I hate waiting in their waiting room they don't have a good way for me to prop my legs up and plus the doctor's there leave a lot to be desired. So I will just live with it until Monday and go see my ortho. I'm sure I just sprained my knee and hopefully that is it. I'm sure of it.

I'm just rambling now. I need to not walk so much on them I guess.

Best investment for a thing like that is buy a Jaccuzzi unit for your bath tub (less than $200). Use that with Epson Salts. I think Sears still sells the units.
