Attempting - attempting - to show the girls how to slice a ball over an obstruction lent disaster to befall me knee. Hurts - hurts like fuck. This happened in practice, and a kick I have done a trillion and ten times got me this time. It happened on a Monday, and I felt terrible all day. Now, I have had similar pains in the past, and it meant I had to stop laying., But this time .... just went on. Next day we had a game, so it didn't hurt. Wednesday went and all was fine. But on Holy Thursday, in practice, i ws totally into it, encouraging and pushing the girls - and 30m in - all hurt broke loose. Stop did I my participation, and plans were made to go see the doctor the next day. Just horrible.
Luckily I kept Cobra - not glad/glad I wasn't paying $330 /month in vain. But it got me to see my excellent primary care dude, who i like a lot. There a terrible revelation occur ed. Sitting in ac hair, he asked me to straighten my leg out and up. No matter how I tried - didn't move. This almost dissolved me to tears, instantly thinking that there would be hours of surgery and a dissolution of my plans to join a soccer team this summer. After a life of playing sports - now this. Scripts were written to see a specialist - but it took two weeks to get in to see him. Then - because my team had a playoff game that day - another delay of a few days.
In the meantime, each nite featured horrid pains. I'd wake up every 4am almost on a schedule with withering pain in my knee. Just the worst - the first few days it was some of the worst pain i'd ever felt, bar none. It just wouldn't stop. Eventually, I knew to drown it in ibuprofen and ice it many times a day - just to ward off the pain.
Finally got to see the specialist. Another good doctor. He looked @ the xrays, felt the knee all over asked q after q. He told me that it didn't seem torn or any other horrible thing that my mind raced w/ these past three weeks. He said it prob. would get better in about 4 weeks, and nothing permanent was probably done. id I want an MRI? yes, write me the script.
This happened last week, and still the pain won't stop. It's not as bad sometimes, but still bad. Now when I wake up in the middle of the nite, usually I just have to walk for a minute for the pain to stop. Still stupid, I will kick the ball in practice once inawhile - I really shouldn't. I am worried that I won't be able to play in a soccer league this summer - but we have to wait.
