Off the road I have knackered my knee and I don't know how....

After wetting Leahs head on Saturday (and boy did it get wet), I have knackered my knee, not through drunken dancing, not through falling over, but by doing nothing. I don't know how it happened, but woke up Sunday morning in absolute agony, unable to bend my leg, unable to straighten my leg, i thought I could "walk it off".

All day Sunday I tried walking it off - no joy

After googling for "inner knee pain" it sounds like ligament damage.

Went to work Monday thinking it was just a twinge, had to get colllected from work as I couldn't move. My lovely work colleagues told me to go and get it sorted and call BUPA (after taking the p*ss of course)

I don't really like wasting peoples time, so didn't call the Doctors, didnt call BUPA and didnt go to the hospital...

Then I finally gave in and went to A&E on Tuesday night

I sometimes wonder why we have A&E, why not just "E"
My evening consisted of;

• Waiting to be seen by triage (20 minutes)
• Waiting to see a Doctor (1 Hour 30 minutes)
• Being seen by a nurse (3 minutes)
• Waiting to see a Doctor (1 Hour 15 minutes)
• Being seen by a Doctor (3 minutes)
• Waiting for some pain killers (ETA 3 hours)

Doctor asked what I'd done, i explainined everything and said I think it's my ligament, after shooting me down for appearing to be a know-it-all, he advised that I have damaged my ligament and te Rest/Move/Ice/Raise my knee.

I gave up waiting for some pain killers and decided to go and see my Doctor/Bupa
After seeing my Doctor I now have an appointment with BUPA on 6th July by which time I expect my knee to have healed or my leg to have fallen off.
NHS eh, gotta love em.
