It’s funny because my left knee was the “bad” one on and off growing up, but tables have now turned and after over two months of worsening discomfort (and a recent visible swell) I need an MRI of the right one 😂
Having a high tolerance to pain will cost me long term, fr fr.
get well soon! what happened?
Thank you! It's unclear. There's not been any trauma per sé, but it's gotten to the point I can't fully stretch my leg or bend my knee 😂 it was 3 days ago that I realised it was actually painful as I left the bed in the morning, and was already swollen 🙂↕️
I suffer terribly with my knees. Too much rugby and firefighting! I have been through the same thing. You end up favouring your good knee without realising it and eventually it becomes your bad knee!
Good luck with that 💜🚒🇬🇧😎💃
Oh no! Sorry to hear. What's your go to releaf? Indeed, sports are good for you but are they really?? Hahaha
Hadn't actually had anything for a very long time 🤔 but it seems at first glance the right knee is damaged because of weight lifting 😅 something with the meniscus and liquid forming, but tbc to be honest, might get an MRI in 2028 with the NHS if I'm lucky.
Thank you! 💜
Mine are beyond repair! Very little, if any cartilage left. Keeping my weight under control is the best relief. I pay for hyaluronic injections, expensive but are really good.
The NHS isn't fit for purpose mate, I try to go elsewhere. I really need knee replacement but I'm not doing that for at least 7 years.

Ah that's so painful 😭 A lady I knew needed morphine tablets for that same reason cause the rubbing of the bones was unbearable 🫂 I've heard great things about hyaluronic injections though. Glad you found that alternative to surgery even if costly! Is an investment.
Yeah not at all. I have another appointment with the GP tomorrow and depending on what they say next, I'll go private for my own sake 😂
If you can afford it, definitely better but I would go abroad. We (the British) have been brainwashed to believe our health service is the best. It really isn't.
Good luck 💜🚒🇬🇧😎
