Sunday my knee pain has been terrible and my ankle pain is worse since my short slide down the stairs yesterday. I saw the orthopedic doctor late Monday.
I have a Grade 1 strained LCL and a minor meniscus tear. Tuesday I will be waiting for the medical supply store to call after they get insurance approval for a custom leg brace. I have no idea how much of my leg the brace will cover, but judging from the pain from the LCL strain I’m thinking it’s going to cover a lot of are. I took a pass on a cortisone shot for my knee. Not a fan. I had shots in both shoulders and the pain was excruciating. The PA said to call if I change my mind. I’m hoping the medical supply store gets me in Tuesday and I don’t have to wait for them to make/modify a leg brace. Not sure how “custom”this is going to be.
I feel like someone’s got a voodoo doll and they are pulling my left leg too far out...constantly, and sometimes so much that I also have sciatica.
