knee injury accident - #21358
I am a bit freaked out right now. A couple of days ago, I was helping a friend move and, long story short, I tripped and had this really bad knee injury accident. It hurt like crazy in the moment but I thought maybe it was just a sprain or something. But now, like 48 hours later, the pain's still there, and it's not just a little discomfort. It's kinda swollen too! I can't bend it properly without wincing, and I've been icing it, but isn’t getting better. I’ve been trying to walk, but man, it feels like my knee just doesn’t wanna cooperate. Should I be worried?? This knee injury accident happened out of nowhere, and I guess I'm freaking out because I can't really afford to be stuck with a bum knee. I haven’t been able to get to the doc yet because of work stuff, but I’m wondering if there are tests I should consider to see if this is something serious. Anyone deal with a bad knee injury accident and have tips? Am I jumping the gun thinking there’s something major going on, or is this pretty normal after a trauma like that? Sorry for the long ramble but I’m just trying to make sense of this whole knee injury accident stuff!
