Such fun. It the internal waiting room at the Emergency wing of the hospital nearest to home. My left knee is virtually useless and can’t bear weight. I can’t bear the pain so the ambulance service arranged for a taxi to take me here. Incredible agony.
@Mauve_matelot Knee effusion of some kind. Very sudden swelling of the joint about 27 hours ago. It’s riddled with osteoarthritis at the best of times. Tests on fluid withdrawn by joint aspiration will be made to determine if it’s gout or a bacterial infection.
Thanks for responding @peemee, I hope the treatment is swift and effective
@peemee
So sorry you are going through this. Hoping for a swift recovery!
@peemee what's the situation with your knee?
Is it galloping old age or something serious?
