injury after event

[SimonNeilshair]

I didn't know whether to post this here or general health but here seems more appropriate.

I did an organised event at the weekend that really pushed me to my limits and I've come away from it with a knee injury. It is extremely painful and not improving despite rest, ice, compression and anti inflammatorys. Should I go to the GP or minor injuries? I've never had to deal with this before

Thanks

Minor injuries, be there first thing tomorrow as they open.

Don't go hiking on it for a week thinking it will be fine, exacerbating it to such an extent it needs surgery 🙄 (my mother, I hasten to add, not me)

OK thanks MrsBadger, I think I will follow your advice, regular pain killers aren't really touching it now.

If it's really unbearable do go tonight, or to A&E, but I find early-morning visits have served me well for getting X-rays etc done straight away rather than out of hours.
