Knee caps

[Giraffe]

Have recently dislocated one of mine and its still bloody painful. Any advice from the many that have probably done the same. Try and spare me the horror stories please, I don't want to be freaked out.

Kness f*** you up.

I twisted my knee and had a headache and was ill for about 4 weeks. My doctor said that it was all to do with the knee.

 

[Easy 10]

Christ. First ankles, now knees.
NSC is falling APART

 

[John Bumlick]

maybe go to a hospital...?

All I know is, once you dislocate a joint, it will tend to dislocate easily for the rest of your life.

A dislocated knee is also way worse for giraffes, than almost any other creature.

I always heed the wise words of a doctor who once told me:

'That's going to HURT in the morning'

I reckon an elephant would struggle.

Wise words

Did that immediately funnily enough. Now on crutches and have a leg brace. Weeks of physio to come. Its a real fucker.

Thats what I am finding. The taller you are the further you fall!!!

Can I add my bad back to it as well?

 

[Easy 10]

Might as well, BB.
I'll also add that my forehead appears to be peeling a bit, for some reason.

 

[Nibble]

Got stabbed in the kneecap with a screwdriver by an Irish pikey. Still gives me jip over two years later. Knees are worth taking care of!

Was he buggering you at the time?

and a flamingo

just had a knee op - went provate through work and it was interesting signing the disclaimer which absically says you are going to struggle for the rest of your natural.

Mainly that it is a degenerative condition and that whatever happens after the op it absolutely has nothing to do with them, the botched job on the knee or the philipino nurse putting a pencil up your backside whilst still out cold.

MAte - once they are buggered then you will get gip for evermore -best thing is to manage them and look after them - swimming - 25 lengths twice a week will do wonders in strenghtening them without putting too much strain on them

Thanks!

And thanks for the crumbs of comfort from NSC finest. Have had four different opinions from four different NHS staff, so am now going private. At least there is more chance of being able to understand the Doctors!!!

Ouch! My shoulder is still sore a year down the line, so be prepared to be patient.

Also, go see your physio regularly, and do the excercises!! If you're going private, the physiotherapists on Wilbury road (particularly Sarah) in Brighton are brilliant.
