Fell off a ladder at work, knee swollen and painful, cant pit any weight on it. Icing it as we speak, wondering how long I should wait to go see an otho?
Ask your doctor for a Voltaren prescription. It is diclofenac based gel that works magic on sore knees and other inflamed joints (not shoulders or hips due to more tissue). I get mine in Mexico for under $15 and no prescription required. US there is a co-pay of $20 to $40 depending on your coverage :-(. I use it for L4 spine dam age and arthritic hands. I asked the surgeon who replaced my knee if I could apply Voltaren when the knee started aching and he simply replied, ‘that’s our go to for inflamation’. Told him I didn’t need a prescription when he offered to write one!2 weeks today, off cutches still limping, think I might escape the knife?

Somewhat valid point, however if you saw how it looked and felt you would understand.Two weeks in and your talking about surgery? Maybe stop mainlining estrogen and be a man for a change.
