I HATE my knees.......really really HATE them.
I have no cartiledge in my left knee and very little in my right (basically the onset of osteoarthritis). Most days it's fine, but tonight.....it hurts like HELL ! I'm completely unable to straighten my left leg, it gets halfway straight then it feels like someone is driving daggers in the back of my knee cap.
Apologies to Bertha, Dazlet and snowy for signing out of msn so abruptly earlier but I had to go writhe about in pain for a wee while
. So I managed to (literally) crack my knee so I could straighten the leg and had a wee kip. Unfortunately when I woke up and stood up, my knee had other ideas.....it REFUSED to let me stand up and just gave way under me.
Now I COULD sit here with my leg nicely bent..no pain whatsoever, but if I do that it will seize up and refuse to move again. So.....I have to sit here swinging my leg around like a bloody loony to keep it mobile, it's not too sore if I don't try to straighten it too much. Except.....I can feel my poor old bones grinding against each other with no nice cushioney cartiledge between them.
On the plus side at least I know that it only gets this sore every now and again so I haven't got long to walk around looking like a geriatric (I hope)
So if anyone happens to see new knees on ebay for a reasonable price, let me know
