*growl*
After about 10 days of being pretty good, my knee is really protesting again :o(
Admittedly, it isn't swelling up (yet), but it's constantly hurting and beginning to stiffen up again.
And I've just found out that with my stomach, I shouldn't be using NSAIDs, even in gel form. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGH!
[grumble]Stupid stomach. Stupid knee. Stupid bird that knocked me off.[/grumble]
So, about to go back to the doctors and see if I can get referred for physio.
On the upside, there's a story in this month's Ride magzine about a woman who was involved in a motorbike accident whilst not wearing the proper trousers ... and 8 years on, she has to wear a knee brace as her knee was so badly damaged from the impact and having the bike slide on top of her. I'm quite relieved a) I wore the right kit and b) my instinct was to push myself away from the bike. Sure, I'm not great, but I could be an awful lot worse.
