knee is fucked

[uh-oh]

WORD

you've given me hope. cuz this fucking thing feels exactly the same as when it first really started bothering me last thursday. i've done NOTHING. i've been kicked back in my giant office chair with my leg up with a compression sleeve on it. icing it when i can remember lol. but anytime i move im strapping this leg immobiliser on to make sure im not bending it and have gotten no relief at all. its exactly as bad as its always been. i thought i was tweaking it again here and there. because it would feel almost ok. just unsteady from my own paranoia in my mind. but then it would be back LIKE SDAGHISDGH. but the guy was saying thats why he thinks it could be the meniscus

cuz if its torn, it can be in place, and feel ok, but when the pain hits its because since its torn it moves out of place.

i've been spending money like an arabian oil baron though on amazon. bought a ridiculous brace, bought a new stool to scoot around the shop on and shit. just trying to think of ways to avoid going back to the doc.

i guess the cortisone shot could take 24-48 hours to kick in, but the problem with that is its not going to help if it is the meniscus, thats just for normal inflammation/arthritis relief. i read its just a way to non invasively narrow the problem. like if someone has arthritis, if 50 percent of their pain is gone they can be like ok only 50 percent of the pain is meniscus related

its all malarkey i say. nothing has made me feel like more of a pussy in my life though.
