so I've been to the Nurse Practioner a couple times about my left knee. No obvious swelling or anything

Posted by Beaker (aka anniebecca) Apr 17 '12, 09:07

but it throbs like a motherfucker. Noticeable limp. If I bend down it hurts to stand back up shit like that.

The pain is always there when I bend, but sometimes the limp and throbing goes away (usually depends on what I've done the day before, this latest bout being the worst after shooting some hoops Friday night)

Is it just oldness? groiny, I know you've had bad knee(s)...

Diagnosis Beaker!

did you notice anything when it first started hurting? did you twist funny and feel any pop? - groiny Apr 17, 09:11
meniscus issues? chondromalacia? bone on bone? any creaking? clicking? difficulty with stairs? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:09 7
- stairs are one of the few times it doesn't bother me weirdly. no noticeable sounds -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:11 6
  - possible tear inside there - a small one cause there is no swelling. wrap it - it may heal - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:17 5
    - (not here :) ). Have an appointment with an actual doc for May - Beaker Apr 17, 09:19 4
      - got any naproxen? that shit works wonders -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:19 3
        
        I try and avoid painkillers if at all possible, drives my wife crazy -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:20 2
        
        naproxen is not a pain killer - more like an anti inflamm - aleve is over the counter but if you can have a nurse call you in some -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:21 1
        
        ahh, gotha. we likely have some. I'll pop a few tonight (I've been icing it too). Thanks all. -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:22
