injured again

Ugh.

I don't know how, but I can't walk with my left knee. It didn't happen during 3 hours of gardening yesterday. It was late in the evening after I turned off the tv and started upstairs. Before I even reached the stairs, my left knee just suddenly hurt.

Sleeping the night didn't help. I went searching for my crutches from that time a decade ago when I had my DVT. I hope this clears up quickly. I'm supposed to do desk diving at work on Monday during my last week of actual work there.

Ack! I hope it improves soon!

I have a suggestion, let me know if you want to hear it

[mellowtigger]

Certainly. I'm always curious about home remedies.

1. Ibuprofen tablets with food to reduce swelling in case swelling is pressing on a nerve or a ligament

2. Topical voltaren gel also reduces swelling
and is gentler on stomachs

I happened to have ibuprofen thanks to the stitches after cyst removal, so I opened that up and started taking them. It's a little better today, but still not well. Hopefully it's better by tomorrow when I return to work.

For the record, the desk diving went well at work this week. I identified quite a few wall-to-router connections for future e911 compliance.
