guppie01 0 #1 February 11, 2011 So, I fell down the stairs this morning, felt the knee twinge, no throbbing or shooting pain, but upon trying to stand it completely gave under me. I can walk (mostly) without any discomfort, however if I try to stand / sit / step up or down - knee gives, and there is pain. The pain subsides quickly though. Anyone ever experience this... g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

JohnMitchell 14 #2 February 11, 2011 I know nothing about this but let's bump it up and see if you get a reply that's worth something. You could always PM on of the good docs on here. I'd name name's, but I don't want to piss 'em off. I'll let you pick one. Also, with all the gimpy jumpers on here, someone must have done already what you did today. If nothing else, percosets until it feels better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern_Man 0 #3 February 11, 2011 If you trust the internet for diagnosis more than you trust your doctor, then it is time to get a new doctor.

guppie01 0 #4 February 11, 2011 lol Thanks John! Well my favorite Dr. and nurse are in Belize right now... not that I'm jealous or anything. Ok, YES I am!!! That aside, who the heck has percosets at the drop of a hat... not that I'm jealous or anything. Ok YES I am! CRAP, now I've got a bad knee, I'm bummed that I'm not in Belize and I don't have a ready supply of percosets... (now I miss SFB) WOW, how in the heck did things turn so quickly?

wmw999 2,150 #5 February 11, 2011 Nope, never that in particular. But I've found that just about anything, if I can walk through it, I can wait until the doctor gets back from Belize. Use your other leg to power the getting up and getting down, and just let that one assist. If it starts to get better, you're going to live. If it doesn't, you can probably wait until they're back from Belize. See -- wasn't htat easy???I hope it feels better soon regardless. I have no percocet. Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

ryoder 1,400 #10 February 11, 2011 Some years back, I jammed my thumb really bad. Never went to the Dr for it. The joint has never looked or worked, quite the same. I just recently learned that in fact I tore the ligaments, and had I gone to the Dr within 3 weeks, they could have been repaired. But now it is going to require reconstructive surgery, using transplanted tendons from my other arm.

Glitch 0 #21 February 11, 2011 Tore an ACL once... no real pain at first just a quick sharp twinge, then it got a little sore as the day wore on, then hurt like a mofo in the middle of the night. I was hunting anything and everything stronger than a tylenol, and ice didn't seem to help much. Copious amounts of alcohol didn't help much either, but at that point I didn't care too much... From what your describing, it prolly aint' that. Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
