Wondering if anyone might have some insight as to what's going on.
My mum (65) had a fall two weeks ago and hurt her knee. Was in quite a lot of pain for the first couple of days but didn't feel anything was broken, was still walking and driving and didn't want to go to a&e. After that the pain got better but didn't completely go away, no bruising or swelling. As it's been 2 weeks she made a GP appointment today, they had a look and sent her to a&e for an x-ray. Typical wait times so she has been there since 10am today, X-ray has come back normal, now they want to do a CT scan.
However she has just messaged me saying they have given her morphine? Surely this is a bit dramatic for a painful knee with a clear x-ray that has been walked on and driven with for the past 14 days? Or is morphine not as intense as I'm thinking?
I can't go in and see her and she's not very good at texting so wondering if there's something I'm missing. Also I assume she won't be home tonight? She drove there.
