Knee Injury

Looks like I pulled the Iotibital Band --

Maybe some involvement with the Lateral patellar retinaculum . . . I'm not a doctor, don't play one on TV.

Tissue trauma has migrated down into the calf muscle, hematoma. Swelling involves calf, Achilles tendon area, ankle, top of foot.

RICE is the acronym -- Rest Ice Compression Elevation. We're doing it all. I have compression stockings for varicose veins, knee brace -- neoprene with lateral support, knee relief hole, two cross knee tension bands, above and below patella at the front.

Swelling is not resolving, but also not increasing. ER advised to give it a week. No activity, we're resting, icing, elevating, compressing . . .
