Today is one of those days where I want to go back to bed and never get up!! So OK, I have been suffering with knee pain for 4 weeks now, and I cannot take the pain anymore. I have been taking Aspirin and the left over Pain Meds I have from my back surgery of last year. So I decided to finally let my husband take me to the ER that only problem with that is that I am a Agoraphobic, and I DO NOT like leaving home. So on top of my knee pain today I have a full fledged Panic Attack, but luckily I was at the Hospital and they gave me some meds for it. However I found out that I have a Torn Lateral Collateral Ligament in my Right Knee, and let me tell you the Pain and the Burning hurts!! So the ER put me in a knee brace and gave me some crutches and then made me an appointment with a specialist for to go see to determine if I need surgery or just a series of shots and therapy, and they wrote me a prescribtion for some pain meds (Vicodine). So now I have another Dr.'s appointment that I have to go to next week and I can already feel the anxiety building just thinking of it. Now I am home safe and sound in my Safe Haven (HOME), and I am trying to wash away the effects of today and get back normal, or at least normal for me. I took some of the meds almost an hour ago and they are barely knocking knocking the edge off of the pain. Anyway I am sure you are tired of listening to me whine!! So have any of you ever had a torn ligament??
