Hi all, a bit of clarification, the knee injury caused the hip, sciatica and back to act up as I was in a splint and using the cane. Knee is healing i think but will need surgery of what kind I am not yet sure. Interior something and if you can believe it, something about the bone marrow? Weird. I did take a lot of meds, Sky, the torodol has a generic that is still used and it was a 5 day thing. Thanks for the info as I have not seen that, just the bleeding stuff. I was given a lot of percocet by my doc who has never even dared to increase narcotics with me. Must be she knew it hurt like nuts huh? I have not taken it much though so that is a very good thing. FYI, I did tell her about the drugs and pain and she understood and we sorted it all out. I had to take a trip and was scared to death due to the injury but have done okay with it and though my knee is still swollen, I can walk fairly well and can come down the stairs normally sometimes though not up. The sciatica is better, was putting too much strain on the lower lumbar disks which are collapsed.
If I were anywhere else speaking like this I would fear I sounded like I was 90 talking about my bowel movements!!!!! Life is strange at times. I was so upset with this injury and worried about long term stuff. The pain was so bad that one night I really wondered if I had a blood clot. It has been okay since then, I can deal. Thanks for the kindness you all, I do appreciate it. |

Oh brother! I went to sit down last night and automatically curled my feet under me and of course was not thinking about my knee injury and injured it again. I curled my left knee under me and started to sit. It was the same position that caused the injury and now it hurts like crazy except it has a different quality to it and also hurts all down the leg and foot. It hurts to put any pressure on it from thigh down. Sitting is no fun and I am on a flight tomorrow for about 5 hours total of sitting. I am quite distressed and will need to have extra meds. I was feeling much better. I do hate that I did this to myself. I hate that I did it to begin with. Wish I could blame someone else so I didn't feel like such a jackass. Ahh, alas, I will heal through surgery or not.
