GOOD MORNING MCF!! Hope Everyone Has A Great Day!!

 

Good Morning everyone!
Off to a reptile expo in New Hampshire to stock up on frozen rats for the year!

 

 

had to call out of work for the first time ever. My knee is so swollen I cant walk and ibuprophen, tylonol, and prescription nsaidas are not making it any better. I hope if I ice it all day and night I can work for next 3 days and go see a doc.

 

Hi `Grizz,
Sorry 2 read about your pain Wish U a feel all better 4-Sure..
I know that pain lets us know that we are alive & I know many that would give everything they have to have a life without pain.

I hope that your doc can help & that you can get back 2 enjoying life without hurting & be able 2 do what you have to `do & like 2 `do...Good Luck....I hope the ice & staying off your legs helps in your recovery....

 

I have rhuematoid arthritis...

I know your pain for sure....Nsaids and Ibuprofin(motrin) are 2 meds that works well together!...However tylenol.(acetominophen)
...isnt suppose to be taken with nsaid meds and motrin... (shouldnt be mixed) youll end up with some adverse side effects...

But, I can recommend also useing a knee brace (or wrap it up with ace bandage)...to help swelling and pressure...also showering that knee with warm to hot water also helps disapate the swelling....and definately propping it up helps....so, i suggest to NOT do any excessive moveing around...also some iceing is recommended...alternateing...hot and cold...maybe try useing a heating pad for for hot treatment?

Hope this helps!

Good Morning EV1:
Just rolled out, coffee time..
Saw the mrs off to work...fed her breakfast...
a chilly 44 degrees here this morning,and a slight drizzle of rain...
Guess we will see a high of 59 wohoooo...

 

WOW 32 degrees out there this morning frost on the PUMPKIN . Sunny and NO wind . Man its been windy for about 3 days in a row. It's football day today. Me & the 62 inch & Ozzie. Stumpmi did you get my pix on your phone from last night ? It was a bike run thru town. My buddy puts it on twice a yr. and ALL the ca$h goes to a family that has a child with Cancer. Plus here in Minn they hold a meat raffle and 50% of that $$ goes into it also. In the spring run they gave a family $ 15,000 . To help them with bills & what ever they need it for. He's been a bike rider for only about 8 yrs. He's jumped into this head 1st man he gets one hell of a turn out. We alway try to help out. His Mom & Dad started ridin this yr also. Tobey knows so many people that its a HIT before it even starts . OK coffee time & a shower. Later............

 

Grizzly: alternating hot and cold will help, plus keeping it raised. I'd advise going to the doctor before you try to work. Otherwise you could be risking PERMANENT injury. I found this out the hard way - walking on a sprained foot before getting XRays and a bandage. It never healed right and still hurts from time to time. Good luck!

 

Good Morning all ! Started the day by looking at the wonderfuil sunrise this morning. The whole sky was autum red and orange!

You all have a great Montefull day !
