hello there. Basically what the title says.
Today I went to an orthopedic doctor after many years of knee pain.
Why after many years you might ask, well lemme answer that. I’ve had this pain for like 7 years and I went to 3 different doctors (you might think why 3 different ones). Two were orthopedics and one was a surgeon. The first one told me that he is not sure what’s wrong with me, the second one told me that it’s probably growing pains ( I was still growing at that time) and it will solve itself out and the third one took one look at me and told me that I should probably consider more physical activity (I’m not obese, yes I have few extra pounds but nothing horrible. I have over 10 000 steps everyday and I run, so It’s not like I sit on my ass all day). So after that I just gave up on doctors and learned how to cope with that pain. I learned some taping techniques, used ointments for pain and all that jazz.
Well yesterday I got really annoyed at the pain I was in so I looked up some other orthopedic offices in town and today I went to one of them.
So I went to the doctors office, waited for my turn and went in. The doctor was very polite and nice. He asked me a bunch of questions so I told him the whole story and that my pain gets worse in summer because I’m always doing something (walking, running, hiking). He examined my knee and sent me for an X-ray, X-ray was all good and so he thinks it’s a problem with my patella (more common in women). Prescribed some nutrition pills for the knee and I went home. All happy because somebody finally examined me properly and SENT me for an X-ray which none of the previous doctors did.
Now comes the fucking up part. Because I don’t know what kind of witchcraft did that man do but I’m in so much fucking pain. I can’t bend the knee and it just hurts so bad. It’s agonizing. I put my knee up on a pillow and I’m not moving at all and it just hurts. So if there are any doctors out here please tell me what to do, is it normal to be in such amount of pain? Or am I just overreacting and I should take a painkiller?
TL;DR went to the doctors after years of pain, got somewhat of a diagnosis. In pain after the examination
