I just want to walk again, is that too much to ask?

You've had 3 months to heal you stupid knee, why are you still fucked up?

"Bone bruising can take up to 12 weeks to heal, be patient."

Well the 12 weeks is up and I STILL have the same swelling and bruising that I had a month ago!

Maybe I shouldn't Google "Bone bruise" and read what I get. Most of it is medical or sports forum posts about people saying they have bone bruises and waahhh, I can't go skiing, or bungee jumping, or street luging or whatever. All I want to do is WALK! Not run, not skip, heck, I can even hold off the dancing, but not being able to walk is driving me insane.

Oh, and if I read "it could take a few days to weeks to heal" I'm gonna scream.

By the time this is over my other leg is going to be completely screwed from having to take all the weight.

I had a very bad bone dislocation, just after highschool, and it took a good few months (more than three) for the swelling and pain to go down.

Other things can keep the swelling up - like damage to the ligaments and muscles around where the dislocation occurred. *hugs* I hope it goes down soon.

I'm quite happy for most forms of porn to have their little lives out there on the net, but all medical advice should be filtered out at the source.

But just think how much satisfaction you'll gain one day from extreme sports such as Carrying A Glass Of Water.

Once I've mastered that I'll move onto the real lunatic Jackass-type activity of making stock out of all the meat scraps in the freezer.

I remember when I fucked my knee up. I've worn the other one out from pretty much 15 years of hobbling around & favouring my bad side. I recently had a fall when my knee gave way for the first time in a good 5 years & it's bruised badly - this is 3 weeks on & it's still black so I dunno - they're not a resilient part of the body.
