Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi Family, I am having a VERY bad time right now. My right leg won't move and bend quite right when it is out of the brace. The swelling is extreme and I have a walnut size lump where he drained the hematoma. The pain now goes from my ankle up to my hip. I can't even lay in bed. The pain is so extreme, before it was just the movement that would cause pain. Now when I get out of bed to go to the bathroom, I can put -0- weight on it without the pain becoming absolutely excruciating and then the leg collapses. The pain pills and muscle relaxants offer no relief at all. Ron says that we should go to the ER. But I know how that will go, they will take an x-ray and they will say see your doctor in the morning and give me 1 percocet (because they have nothing stronger there), Oh, I can't believe how much pain that I am in. The day turned into night and the whole thing just got progressively worse. I hope that the doc has some answers for us, I doubt it, but I sure hope that in this case I am wrong. Still running a temp and the family is running around the house in their winter clothes. I just went to move my toes and even that is excruciating. I can see that I have a very long night ahead of me. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
