Knee Injury

Today I am writing to tell you that last night I suffered a fairly strong blow to my knee and today it is swollen, although I am already ordering my medication for that, it still hurts. The worst thing is that I am a very active person and as I have already told you, I am a single mother, which means that I have to do everything in the place by myself. I feel so repressed because I need to do things and at the same time I'm worried. I hope to use my knee again soon.

I'm so sorry to know about your injury. Consult a doctor. A few years ago one of my friends went to the beach to bath in the sea.He got struck by.a strong wave. He fell in the sea and people present there somehow managed to save him. He got treated Now he is ok, but can't walk properly.

Yes, right now I'm just limping, but it's still important to know how the kneecap is because it was at the level of the kneecap and it's a very delicate point because there may be a displacement.

@Shivram59 Today I have an appointment at 2 in the afternoon, it's 12:17 p.m. Here in Venezuela, I'm getting ready to go out. As soon as I have my appointment, I'll let you know. I hope everything is okay.

I am sorry you hurt your knee...maybe you should see a doctor for it? It's hard when others are depending on you and you are in pain. Take care of yourself.

Yes, I have everything ready because tomorrow I'm going to my appointment with internal medicine to see what tests they're going to do on me and the physical exam. Most likely, I'll have to attend physical therapy.

@MarieCoyle You know, I suffer from neuritis occasionally, so I have sometimes had to take therapies with warm sitz baths, and it really is something that not only works for neuritis,But it also relaxes a lot from the daily routine, it is something that we should all do.

Physical therapy helps at times, I know it has worked for me. I hope it does for you.

@YuleimaVzla That is a kind of a reminder for you to go slow in future We all have different reminders like that in our life

@allknowing Just today I posted a message on my WhatsApp that said: it's not why this is happening to me, but what should I learn from this... because I realized that I can no longer do things in a hurry.As if they were harassing me, as if I were cornered, everything must have its time

There's your answer, precisely for not doing things slowly. I tend to be a person who gets frustrated with slowness and I do things, and at that moment I didn't see an elevated staircase in front of me.

Yes, I should go to a doctor and that's what I'm afraid of, maybe not a fracture but a sprain, but that's not good. I'm a very active person and I have to do a lot of things, I have to walk, you know.Working, walking outside the house and inside the house limits me a lot, I feel a little depressed.

@Mshafeeq I've been doing the massages with a menthol ointment and it really relieves pain. Last night I felt better, I've recovered 40% of my mobility, but today it rained and my knee hurt a little.

@YuleimaVzla Don't be depressed it will not help you recover and I hope that is just a sprain but internal injury will take time to heal, massage it every day. As a single mother it is very hard to interpret your day to day life. Get well soon.
