Thanks for the good wishes people. Now Im not insane with pain and lack of sleep, let me explain whats happening to alay various worries. 1. I twisted my knee the other day. Its not the first time Ive done it, and it was a pretty bad one. I could walk, but not well. It was clearing up though. 2. Last night, after four hours of sleep, I woke up and my knee was really hurting. It wasnt Gout levels of pain - not nearly - but the location of the pain made it fairly all encompassing. I couldnt lie in a way that was comfortable. More than the pain, the lack of comfort was keeping me awake. I was starting to freak out - I was very tired and couldnt sleep for reasons out of my control. I now know why thats such a horrifying torture technique. 3. Around seven, I needed to take care of certain matters that were no longer able to be delayed. After wincing and gasping the way to the bathroom, I discovered that there was no pain sitting on the can. Lloking at my swolen knee in the light, I could see that the swelling was concentrated on the sides and top. I couldnt straighten my leg or put my knee on the side without putting pressure on the swellimg - causing it to hurt. 4. I took five minutes to get downstairs, found the last of my gout meds, and promptly fell asleep in my chair. A solid four additional hours sleep, and Im feeling much better. With some more anti inflamatories, a pressure bandage, and some actual rest (as opposed to rest but go wwlking on it when I feel like it) Im hoping to get it fixed quickly and easily. Thank you all for caring though. Its always nice to know that people are looking out for you!
