I can't feel anything anymore
So I went to the University Health Services today to see a doctor about the numbness areound my knee. Last week I played 3 broomball games in 3 days, and got a massive/impressive bruise. However it wasn't til a day or so after that, that I realized the funny feeling near my knee was the fact that the knee wasn't feeling anything...which was very shocking. I've put off going to the doctor hoping it would go away, but it hasn't.
Anyway the visit was suprisingly painless and fast. The bad news was that the nerves in my knee have suffered a "trauma" and that is why they are numb. There is a good possibility that the knee is still swollen and that this will fade. But there is also a possibility that this could be permanant, which scares me a lot. I know there are a lot worse things I could be going through, but the thought of never feeling anything again with a part of me is scary. And he didn't do a very good job breaking the news.
Hopefully with ice and Ibuprofen it'll be fine, if not I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
