like, after how many days of intermittant knee pains do i give in and see a doctor?

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) May 29 '12, 20:36

this pain is new to me, sharpish on the bottom inside of my knee (well new compared to the pains i had in my teens).

its been, what, almost a week. bothered me off and on all weekend, but today from before noon until now, its an intermittant pain.

sigh. i am breaking down in my slowly approaching older ages.

Responses:

can you be more specific? what is the "bottom" of your knee? inside, outside? under the kneecap? -- nm - loosilu May 29, 21:57
ice it at home and do your best to stay off it -- nm - the liioulu with a tablet May 29, 21:41
Not to thread hijack, but I've been wondering the same thing with a pain behind my left shoulderblade. - Qale May 29, 20:51 9
- Do you use one arm over the other for something work wise? Try changing it up if so. -- nm - JenBro May 29, 20:58 8
  - I am extremely left handed biased, sure. - Qale May 29, 21:06 7
    - first thing you must do, check your posture. If you are carrying your head forward you must stop. - loosilu May 29, 21:58 2
      - Maybe while I'm at the sushi place I can find a tiny Asian woman to walk on my back. -- nm - Qale May 29, 22:00 1
        
        ha! also, sit the fuck up straight. no thrusting the head forward. it should be balanced atop your spine. - loosilu May 29, 22:02
    - Well - hefting pizza boxes when you deliver with the same arm over and over is similar to waiters carrying trays the same way all night. -- nm - JenBro May 29, 21:13 3
      - I was thinking more of the part where I'm behind the wheel. -- nm - Qale May 29, 21:34 2
        
        this. sit the fuck up straight while your driving. no chicken head. -- nm - loosilu May 29, 21:59
        
        Ah - of course -- nm - JenBro May 29, 21:39
Did you do something to hurt it? Like when you were doing your yard project? -- nm - JenBro May 29, 20:38 6
- not sure - tRuMaN May 29, 20:40 5
  - Ouch, guess I missed that while I was on the train. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 29, 20:50
  - Oh I forgot about that run in - yes - if it's the same knee I bet that was it & yes - you should get it checked - there might be an essy fix. - JenBro May 29, 20:45 3
    - no, couldnt figure out how to do that at work - tRuMaN May 29, 20:47 2
      - bring an ice pack to work, dummy. is the knee swelling at all? -- nm - loosilu May 29, 22:00
      - Hrm - my work situation is unique - when I had a sprained ankle my brother brought me his gadget that had a coil thing that strapped on and was - JenBro May 29, 20:53
Hmm, I thought you were limping, and couldn't remember if you'd mentioned anything. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 29, 20:38 1
- limping and complaining under my breathe - tRuMaN May 29, 20:45
