I broke down and went to the clinic
before work. The doc said I'd only pulled a tendon and that I'd be fine in a week.
He suggested that I get a one-piece tensor bandage that you can just slip on and off. So I did. I measure my knee to make sure I got the right size, bought one, took it home and put it on under my jeans.
I swear it's made me knee worse! Probably because the damn thing insists on rolling down every 20 fucking minutes! I spent more of my day with my pants down as a pulled the damn thing up YET AGAIN.
Bro has a proper knee brace. I'm going to give that a shot, though I have a feeling it might be a bit big. But anything is better then that piece of crap I just wasted money on.
Oh and on the forum front, the twit in holistic health asked another question. And then answered him in another post. When I told him I couldn't figure out what he was saying, he informed me that he already knew the answer and that it was too bad that I didn't understand him.
So yeah, the twit apparently only ever wanted confirmation of his preconceived notions. Surprise, surprise.
Oh well, I had to try.
