I fell over last night and bashed my knee on the bone just below the kneecap.i've cut it and generally bashed it.The pain is outrageous.
sat with ice on it last night and this morning i am in agony.it is really painful to walk with pain going right down my leg to my foot and a bizzarre tingly feeling.The cut is still ooozing and bleeding-it's come through the plaster.
do you think it needs checking out or is it just and wait and rest thing?

hmmmm not sure the tingly feeling may not be good
I think if it were me I might get it checked

NannyL · 22/07/2006 08:46

if in doubt check it out!

if its still bleeding then it needs seeing to anyway.

the tingling doesnt sound good. my younger sis was in a car accident, and she went back to the hospital the other day as her thumb was tingling, she has a fracture in her thumb which the 1st hospital had missed.

fuck fuck fuckety fuck

i knew you were going to say that.
my in laws are staying and the kids haven't seen them for six months.we had a big day out planned.
not sure how i'm going to do this, but i agree the tingling is very odd.
all up my thigh too.

ok didn't go and get it checked it out.actually tried to but walk in centre was closed and big queue at a &e.
bleeding has stopped now( after 2 days oozing) and can walk on leg no problem but by god it's painful.
am assuming now that it's just bruised although there is very little bruising to see. How long do you reckon it'll go on hurting like this for?

i feel and hurt my ankle about 4 weeks ago and is still slightly painful when i walk or sit in certain positions. so if anything like mine can take a while depending on bruising!!
