At least I assume that is what this is.
For those who are catching up, I hurt my knee over a week ago, since then I have rested it, hot and cold compression, pain killers, you name it I have probably done it.
I live in a second floor flat, its 27 steps up and down. I woke up this morning and am unable to move let alone try and try and go down the steps and not sure how I would get back up them.
I made a doctors app yesterday though, but the earliest they could fit me in is next Monday and at the moment all I want to do is lie down and cry.
I dont deal well with pain or illness, but this is honestly gone to the next level.

I am glad you are going to the Dr. but Ugh on having to wait til Monday. 27 steps is a lot of steps anytime, but especially with knee pain!! Hope you can find some relief to get you through til Monday! BIG HUGS To you!!

Ice is your friend, even though it’s not the most comfortable thing. Try finding a neoprene knee brace at a drug store for stability. As for the steps, in rehab, we use the heaven and hell analogy for which leg to lead with. When going up (heaven), lead with your good leg, when coming down (hell) lead with your bad leg. And keep taking your ibuprofen and ice to reduce swelling. 😊

I have been using an ice compressor thingy (I am so technical) but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything except making me cold

Hahaha! True, but it keep swelling at bay and allow for increased range of motion. If it doesn’t feel swollen, heat is ok. But, heat is contraindicated if swelling is present. Keep it moving…even if you don’t want to. 😏

It was so weird, I spent a few days not being able to walk and then suddenly it stopped hurting and now, apart from the odd twinge is fine
