Swollen knee

[TripleSix]

Thursday I was absolutely fine, at work, no problems.

Friday morning I get out of bed with a painful right knee that seizes up if I sit around for 10 mins, made me limp but was just bearable

Today it's incredibly painful, restricted movement, can't kneel on it, can weight bear fine though.

Took some ibuprofen which took the edge off for a couple of hours.

Even sat here with it elevated it's fair agony.

What the hell have I done?

Don't remember twisting, banging or attempting to amputate it...

Friday morning engine management light came on, it put the engine in limp mode,driver ignored it, and now you have gone and seized it.
Needs proper diagnostics...

Definitely in limp mode;

Makes sense.

Doing the standard self employed thang and just turned the radio up a bit more...


Same treatment as my van gearbox which has started making a noise...

Ibuprofen.
Tubigrip.
Rest.
Elevate.
Cool pack.
GP in the morning

Could be nothing.
Could be something.

Could be anything

Bakers cyst perhaps

Or an insect bite


edit. see it was posted on Saturday, any professional diagnosis yet?

I have had a similar pain in my ankle for around three weeks , a blood test ruled out gout which my doctor said it probably was . A surgeon friend had a look & diagnosed tendinitis . Ibuprofen alternated with paracetamol & rest it if possible in an elevated position .
