Okay, so a few weeks ago I started running. One evening i came home and something didn't feel right at all. It was a pain in my right knee but it wasn't unbearable so I put it down to a being stretched too much and ignored it. The next day it was too bad to run on. I haven't run since.
After it had been a week, I phoned my GP and explained. He said it sounded like a pulled muscle and to rest it with ice. If still bad in another week, to call him back.
In the last 2 days it seems to have gotten so much worse, it sounds so ridiculous but when I move it I can sometimes hear a 'pop' and the sound and discomfort makes me feel unwell. It's awful.
AIBU to potentially waste NHS time and calm him back before the week is done, so before Friday? I have a 2 year old to look after and I have to brace myself with all the stairs etc.
