pfft.

a couple of weeks before christmas, i hurt my knee pretty badly. someone jumped on my leg while i was sitting down and my knee locked. i experienced crazy pain and swelling, and after trying a few things and not easing it much i went to see a dr. a few days after christmas. he basically told me to take painkillers and to get an mri done if the situation didn't clear up.

well, things didn't clear up. the swelling eventually went down, but i still can't put much pressure on my leg, walk for long distances, run or climb stairs without causing myself pain. last friday i went to another dr. and things finally got sorted out. she thought i could either have a fracture or swelling, so i had a very uncomfortable x-ray done. the x-ray showed that thankfully it wasn't a fracture, but instead fluid building up behind my kneecap.

so now i'm on anti-inflammatories, have to wear a knee strap and am going to see a physio in two days to strengthen my leg again and help me with movement. i just hope it gets sorted before i get back to uni. am really tired of the pain and of not being able to do things. but in the meantime, just have to grin and bear it =)
