Me again, my mysterious rash seems to be subsiding after my ortho told me to use benedryl and anticortisone cream.
Now I’m having another issue. Over the weekend, my knee had felt very stiff almost to the point that I couldn’t bend it very well. I have been elevating and icing it, but didn’t seem to be helping. Against my PT, I decided to put a little heat on my knee. I only did this twice today and only for about 5 minutes each time. This has helped with the swelling. It significantly went down. But now I feel that the pain is much worse. How could this be? I thought for sure, it would feel better now that the swelling has been reduced.
