I woke up covered in bruises and my knee was very swollen and painful. I couldn't bend my knee back very far, there was no way I could make it to work. So I rang in. Kev left me with easy to grab drinks and food bless him.
Charlotte popped round and bought me her cooling knee brace from when she had her knee op.
I rang 111 and they put me through to a nurse who took all my information and gave me list of things to do until I could see a doctor. She said if anything changes or the pain gets worse to go to A&E.
It's stayed much the same, uts hard to get up and down, as that's when the muscle at the back of my knee really pulls. I'd ordered some arnica gel which came later in the afternoon. And I put the cool brace on at regular intervals along with my strong pain meds.
I was told to stay off my feet for as much as I could, so that's what I did. I found it easier to get up from my desk chair so I sat there with my knee elevated. Both the cool knee brace and the arnica seem to be helping loads.
