Housemaid's knee and other ailments that should have died out

Today I woke up with my knee all weirdy and stiff. It was totally fine yesterday and I haven't knocked it or anything. But it was too sore for the gym.

Dr Google informs me that I have housemaid's knee.

I mean, really?! Wtf? I am not an apple cheeked Edwardian scullery girl.

What other ailments sound ridiculously old fashioned to you? And will someone please make me feel better by telling me that they have the King's Evil?

I just looked up St Vitus' Dance, not that I've had it! Sounds awful.

Impetigo, had it as a child, still have a (very faded) scar from one of the sores.
