@sistersinhim i did no PT yesterday, I iced, elevated, rested. But still when I used my walker, all day it was very painful to put pressure on my leg.
I did not sleep last night, no position was comfortable. I cried the majority of the night.
My physical therapist showed up at 8am, I met him at the door explaining how much pain I had been in and pointed out areas of my knee that were paining me. If I had his phone number I would have canceled this morning. But I did not.
He suggested we do just a few easy exercises and told me to lay off for the weekend and ice, elevate. We did a few. I was done. He checked for signs of infection, there weren’t any he could see visibly.
Using my walker today, I can put some weight on leg without extra pain. I don’t get how yesterday my leg felt like it was intolerable to stand on and today I can bear a little weight.
This flip flopping of pain is making me seem like a liar when I explain it to anyone. The pain comes and goes when it wants and is confusing me and those I’m trying to get to understand I AM IN PAIN all the time.
Sorry for the rant, I’m at the end of my rope and just needing to vent.
Thanks Bonesmart
