The doctor's office finally called me this morning. The doctor recommends either a hinged knee brace or a noeprene knee sleeve. Looked them both up on Amazon and the knee sleeve looks easier to put on. Asked about the xray and was told I would need to come back in to see the doctor. I said we had already talked about the xray and could they just make the appointment but if necessary I will come back in. I can't deal with not being able to walk. She promised I'd get a call back today.

I went to the grocery store this morning and limped around for about 20 minutes - luckily it's a small store. Was not going to go another day without coffee. Still had to go to 3 corners of the store for half and half, milk, coffee, sugar, and stuff for a salad. I am not giving in to impulse purchases. The potato chips and cookie aisles had no interest to me - amazing! But I did look for hash brown patties that cook so easily in the toaster oven. Luckily, they were out of them! So I should do good on the food choices for today.

Seeing the Dr.could be good. She could asses the knee better to pick the right device and measure to be sure you have the proper fit. It can be tricky getting the right one and you don't want circulation cut off.

Thanks Redrose,I saw the doctor last Thursday. She examined the knee and suggested an X-Ray but I decided to wait, hoping the knee would get better with rest. I didn't injure the knee, I just woke up one morning and couldn't put weight on it. I've already ordered the knee sleeve and used measurements to determine the size.

I hope the knee braces helps. I have one of the neoprene ones.

Hoping you feel better soon! The brace should help you. I used both types. The hinged one can be helpful but it's restrictive and can sometimes hurt on the sides. Take care !❤️❤️

Thanks Morticia! I should get the brace tomorrow. I was on my feet too much today because now my knee even hurts, aches when I'm lying down. I need limping lessons because I think I do it wrong.

Thanks Diana. I'm still waiting to hear if the doctor will approve an X-Ray. This has been going on for over a week now. I was glad to read you are out of the hospital and at your sister's house. Hopefully you'll find it easier to relax and recover there. Although, is this the sister who eats fast food alot?
