Knee pains

[darmstadt]

Sitting at the desk in my hotel room last night I went to get up and had a slight twinge in my knee, nothing too painful but it was there. I didn't think much of it and walking was fine. At about 1:00am I started to get some severe pain in the knee and couldn't straighten my leg out nor put it in certain positions, couldn't even put any weight on it! All I could do was lie on one side with it bent up. After a couple of hours of dozing it seemed to get better and could slowly begin to straighten it but there was still an ache there. At least I could stand and walk on it which meant I could go to work to continue the ancient contractors adage of 'no sickies.' However it is still a bit painful and standing up has to be done a bit slower than normal. I'm just wondering what it is, the pain (ache) is basically now only at the front bottom of the kneecap and there doesn't seem to be any swelling nor does it hurt to prod it although the leg below the kneecap feels like the muscles are a bit stiff which is probably due to having it bent up all night. Hopefully nothing serious but getting to a doctor is a bit difficult.

To cap it all, it snowed overnight and I've got rather slippery shoes on making walking difficult...

Any swelling? Could be a fragment of tulipe in there. You might need an arthroscopy. How old are you and do you do a lot of sports?

It's exactly what I had a fortnight ago (except mine was more painful and crippling)
It lasted a week then cleared up.

Yours was most likely a beer related injury though.

You mean the situation with the midget, hermaphrodite tranny and the clingfilm. You mentioned it in passing.

Could be a torn muscle, can be painful. Give it a day or two. Most programmer's muscles have almost completely wasted away have barely the strength to do very gentle movements. A violent movement such as getting up from a swivel chair could just be the last straw.

Maybe its growing pains

Getting older + poor fitness + bad diet = buggered knees

on the other hand,

Getting older + good fitness + good diet = buggered knees, elbows, back, shoulders and brain

Count yourself lucky.

But since the SLS is automatic with no clutch you don't really need that leg do you?
