  Oh I know how it feels...this hurt so bad...in fact I also had a bad sprain from that same fall....and  I still have pain and tenderness in that ankle and I know I have scar tissue in my knee....this cold weather reminds me of it....

Ouch!!! I know, I am injuring myself a lot. It's like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, when he responded to that guy by saying Im kicking my @ss, do you mind? lol. Maybe not, it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I said I was injuring myself a lot. HAHA, my mind is rather eccentric and complex at times.. I think I am making sense and people around me are like WTH are you talking about!! LOL. HAHA.
I fractured my tibia about 2 years ago and the pain in my knee right now is way worse than the fracture. Weird.

Thank you friend!!!!! I am so happy. I saw my PCP this AM to address the news of upcoming surgery next Thursday and to evaluate my injured knee. He believes I injured a ligament.. That is just my luck!!!! LOL. He did prescribe vicodin for pain of neck/head and knee. He said that this med doesn't carry any risk for bleeding.
