I've had it for many many years.
Whatever it is, I'm so sorry you're hurting so. Gosh, I hope nothing went haywire. I hope it's just a spasm or some weird thing that is going to stop and quickly as it started. Please let us know what happens, will you? I'd really like to know what the MRI says, okay?
Take care & good luck! Hugs, Lee  |
Hi Lee. I slept most of the day and when I woke up it was over. The pain was in the side of the knee and lasted about 24 hours. It was the darnest thing, unlike any sensation I have had before. I am guessing it is some sort of new sciatica manifestation. I most certainly could have done without that one. On the other hand, I am glad it isn't the joint itself. Never a dull moment, eh? Have a good night.
