Knee
I'm giving in and going to the doctor tomorrow.
About two weeks ago I slipped in the kitchen and fell hard on my left knee.
Today, there's no bruising or swelling visible, but it was lightly locking up while I was walking around, and when I knelt on it it was instantaneous sharp agony and now the pain is lingering 15 minutes after kneeling on it.
Until today, it's felt completely fine as long as I didn't try to kneel on it.
Google doctoring suggests it's housemaid's knee,
which is a condition that can be caused by... anything (infection, a single fall, repetitive kneeling) and can be solved by... anything (surgery, physio, anti inflammatories, just rest it for 2 weeks-2 months).
.... which is lovely.
Better just have a doctor look at it before I'm travelling around the world.
Unfortuantely, lore-bear lterally just left to Thailand and won't be back til after I'm gone, so I'm going to walk as soon as I wake up tomorrow to the hospital, hopefully get home before the temperature gets above 40.
bleh.
