Ok my oldest son Doug is shall we say not adept at certain things. Ok let me be honest the kid is an accident looking for aplace to happen, yet he continues to skateboard. Well this time he was not even skateboarding and managed to get hurt. He was wakling and talking to a friend and was not paying attention to where he was walking and stepped off the edge of the walkway, which is about a 3 foot drop. So he twisted his knee and ankle, ambulance checked him out said more then likely just a real good sprain.5 days pass the knee is still swellilng adn stiff nothing we do helps. Take him to Urgent treatment center adn they xray, nothing broken, suggest more like a strain on the muscles that connect tot he knee, heating pad and naproxen sodium, which he cannot take cause it tears his stomach up. We are now 17 days after teh accident and still no reduction in his knee, still lots of pain when he attempts to bend the leg. Get to regular family doctor, he has lots of fluid above the knee and surrounding the muscles and tendons, Which tends to indicate that the stuff has been torn which may require surgery. YIPPEEE.. So we go to orthopedic surgeon tomorrow at 2:30.. and find out if he has torn it or just really done a number on it. right now he is on percoset and flexiril to reduce the swelling in his leg..
