Went to the doctor

Comment Published at 20:5620:5616 comments16 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

Went to the doctor today about my knees that I hurt when I fell down the stairs.  She poked and prodded as they do.  Apparently I've torn some ligaments in my knees.  With rest they should repair in 4-6 weeks, though I may need some physio.  As she was telling me all of this all of sudden I started getting really faint.  I ended up having to put my head between my knees and later on ended up lying down.  The doctor said that fainting like that can be a reaction to pain.  Wasn't much fun.  So she told me to take the rest of the day off.  I'm glad I am cause I just feel like all the energy's been taken out of me right now.

On the positive side, I finished my last exam for the semester yesterday, so that's pretty cool.  Now I've got just over 3 weeks off from uni.

Oh dear!!! But now you have three weeks to get your evil computer back in line,off line, hung out on a line or whatever...just take care of that knee.  Geeesss got to get better cause you can't do a dance of joy for getting out of school  with a bummed up knee! Sending knee vibes...LOL! Poor Kiddo, do take care.

Re: Went to the doctor

I have fainted several times but it has been when I acyually did it but maybe the dr. had been examining it and making it hurt. Good thing you have three weeks off which should help you to get better. I hope so anyway

Re: Went to the doctor

Thanks Pauline.  It's not at all pleasant fainting.  I haven't really done it before, so it was a bit of a shock for me.

Oh Leith

I'm so sorry you are still having trouble. A lady I work with has her husband off work with the same problem, he fell off the back of his jeep falling awkward, he had to have surgery as he has torn all the major ligaments and done severe cartilige damage, the doctors call it a devastating injury and he has to have a brace fitted and be immobile for 12 weeks !!!! so from what she tells me the pain is so bad its not surprising you almost fainted !!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful and take great care of yourself

Thanks Helen.

I'm glad I didn't do anything nearly as bad as your friend's husband!  That sounds terrible!

I'm improving now, but it is slow... And I do tend to be a bit impatient!

Re: Went to the doctor

If you are going to faint, then the doctors surgery is the best place for it.  Sorry your knees are still sore.  Take care of them and rest as much as you can.

Thanks Arna.  I thought the same about being in the doctor's surgery, except that I was so aware I was only meant to have a 15 minute appointment and I was holding other people up by lying there recovering.  But the doctor was so nice about it all.
