I'm ok now. Just got home this afternoon after going into surgery yesterday afternoon. Was shit scared before, in a lot of pain after, and extremely relieved now, though I have SIX medications to take over the next week.

hope you feel 100% soon ... in the meantime it sounds like you're going to rattle with all those meds :)

Thanks! It's gonna be weird, as I don't usually take anything stronger than Panadol or Advil.

yeah I know how you feel - hard to remember to take them on schedule when you;re not used to taking anything regularly

Get well soon, Meglos. x
 
Any opinions and/or advice sought please from experienced patients. I twisted my knee a couple of weeks ago. Didn't get better after the usual couple of days and now the opinion is that I may have a tear in my ACL. Could still be cartilage. Having an MRI on Monday. Thank the Lord that I work in a public hospital and am getting it done free :) For those who've been there, done that, what's the go with it all? Effing hurts and it's my right knee. Driving isn't an issue...yet. Is swimming a good thing to do as walking is a bit out of the question.

How did you twist it?
Can you walk on it?

Sometimes you can tear both your acl and meniscus.
Depending on the grades, you've got a few weeks of rest.
Swimming should be OK as its non weight bearing, have you been to physio? They should likely prescribe low impact quad strengthening.
 
I walk on it but I limp, it can hurt like hell and it can be a bit buckly. Once my knee has warmed up so to speak I limp less. I turned to look at something immediately behind me and while my upper body turned, my legs didn't. Until I find out the MRI results I have no idea as to treatment. I have been told physio will be the go. Again, it can be done at work. Thankyou for you advice. I've never had a knee injury before. Kind of freaking me out as I don't want to be incapacitated for too long for various reasons.

So its a good sign you can walk and that the warm up helps.
Hopefully it's grade 1 or 2, means only a few weeks healing and light activities :)

Haha yeah lucky working in a hospital!

I hope you're okay, Meglos. As they say, my friends used to be on drugs but now they're on meds. Whatever, I hope you get well really soon. xx

So glad you're here, delcan. I have missed this place and I think I've just signed by last post here. I was very rude to Trala.
