GROSS PHOTO WARNING - Frozen peas or A&E?

[ToAandEorNotToAandE]

I’ve NC’d for this as my knees may be identifiable 🤣
Went arse over tit at lunchtime today on the pavement.
Really hurt my knees - but my left one in particular is extremely painful and I can’t bend it and I’m dragging it around When I walk.

Is it a case of (continuing with) frozen peas or A&E??

Right knee for comparison which is sore but not nearly as painful as the left knee

Urgent Care at Guy’s will call through to A & E at Tommy’s if they can’t deal with you. It gets you further up the list to be seen and you can use the staff bus to get there.

Glad it's not broken. 💐

Could you go to minor injuries? It would have much less of a wait than a&e. I think they X ray it there. If you need further treatment they do send you to it but it could just be badly bruised?
You poor thing though, looks v sore.

Not read the thread then?

That's the emergency list.
A and E is also for accidents, such as potentially broken or fractured bones, especially in area where there is no 24 minor injuries centre.

Glad to hear it’s not broken, plenty of rest and relaxation for you.

Welldone OP 🥳

I would go a+e my mums lab puppy knocked me over once on an park i landed on grass and it never hurt so went home, 3 hours later my knee was double in size so went a+e I had an broken knee cap, doc said if id left it longer or was older and larger than i was, I would have to have pins in it but as it was it was still an cast for 8 weeks best be safe than sorry,

Omg just seen this thread - hope you did go to a & e that’s what it’s for - accidents !
hope you got seen and are being treated / x rayed etc …

Oh heck, please go to a and e, that looks more than just a bump! Hope you the treatment you need and it gets better soon. Xx

Aah good my xray vision was spot on..
Amazed people are grossed out by this pics. It's a knee with a bit of blood and swelling. It must be sore OP but I see far, far worse everyday.

Glad nothing is broken. Rest up op and take it easy.

This is terrible advice.

I fell badly on my ankle last summer. It hurt, but not sharp pain. No crunching noises.

When I got to A&E I had broken it.

Non weight bearing is a hospital job!
