knee/leg pain
Yesterday I went to a GP and started taking an anti-inflammatory. He thought it was a torn ligament.
Today I went to an orthopaedist. He wants to rule out PCL, so he sent me to get an MRI. I went straight there, and now I have the pictures with me.
Total cost: $10. After a year of paying insurance, I finally got something back.
It's been hurting on and off for 3 weeks now, and I don't know how I got it. It was probably playing soccer, when I was hideously tackled on the knee. It hurt a lot at the time, but it was a different pain altogether: it was a pressure-induced pain (i.e. press and it hurts), as opposed to a stretching-induced pain.
Hot days seem to be worse.
I am fully functional, although I've been limping slightly on the bad days. It thought I would shake it off, but it's been 3 weeks already, and it feels just as bad.
