Checking in.
Last Saturday squatted. Which I seldom do anymore because of my back. Felt a little stiffness in my left knee on Sunday. Not unusual since I've had surgery on that knee.
Monday rode my mtn bike. Overnight Monday my knee looked like it had a grapefruit in it. Figured it was just overuse. So I stared ice and anti-inflammatories. Not much help and the pain was excruciating.
My ortho buddy was in surgery that day so he got me into their walk in ortho.
PA took out 100cc. But wouldn't do an injection because the fluid didn't look right. And I was running a low grade fever. So infection was unlikely but they don't want to inject it if for some reason it actually is an infection. 800mg ibu and tramadol. Helped a little but it swelled right back up so any movement at all was so freaking painful. Little to no sleep these last 5 days. I kind of understand getting addicted to narcotics because I would have shot heroin for some pain relief.
Labs back last night. No infection but confirmed psuedogout.
Went back into walkin. Dr on duty drained another 100cc and steroid shot.
I feel like a new man this morning. Getting old sucks.
