Pincher Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 For the past couple of days I keep getting really bad pains in my left knee - happened about 5 times in the space of an hour last night and I had to keep getting out of bed until it passed. It seems to be round the whole of the knee (front and back) and is best described as an intense ache with shooting pains almost up to my groin I've had some painkillers and it was OK until this afternoon when it happened again. Hasn't happened since until just now. Takes my breath away and I almost can't lift my leg until the pain goes. Any ideas? I'm going to see how it goes tomorrow and go to the Doc's if it doesn't improve (I never go to the doc's unless I have to!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve2 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 sounds nasty Chris, can you remember if you have twisted it at all. Is it imflammed at all?, if so get a cold pack on it(peas are good) to get the imflamation down. also you might be better seeing a sports phisio who tend to deal with these types of pains, i tend to go along to these rather than the doctors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus no ill effects from the 4 hours drive home when I picked it up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had the pains a couple of times today but am booked in at the Doctors tomorrow morning (it's handy when your mum works there - means I don't have to go through the normal channels to get booked in ) I had Osgood Schlatters when I was younger and wondered if it could be a re occurrence of that but it seems that is only in teenagers. Probably something and nothing but I'll get it checked out anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pincher Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Went to the Docs and she gave it a bit of a pull about. Was satisfied that it wasn't ligament damage but referred me to the physio at the hospital and for a blood test. Haven't had the shooting pains for a couple of days but it is still generally achey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
