Day 12
I did very little yesterday, other than gentle walks around the flat, as I had a friend visit for the afternoon. However, I was disheartened in the evening to see that my knee was very swollen again, back to how it was over a week ago. I had been icing and elevating during the day, as usual. Nothing different.
The staples were taken out the day before, but there was no increased swelling immediately afterwards or yesterday during the day. The swelling only appeared shortly before bedtime. Could this be a kind of delayed response to the staple removal, I wonder? My knee feels on fire again :(
