Sleeping-related injury.
I went to bed feeling fine and tired last night. I woke up this morning with a limp and my right knee was swollen and warm!
I thought I could stretch it out but it did not help. I had to do some brisk walking this morning and my knee got angrier. I finally took some aspirin, iced my knee, and kept it elevated all night. The swelling has gone done a tiny bit but the pain is still there.
I did some heavy lifting two days prior but felt no pain in my knees so it’s hard to imagine they are related. According to this website, I either have gout, a fracture, or prepatellar bursitis (no, the swelling doesn’t look as bad as that wiki page!) Whatever the heck it is, I hope it doesn’t require a doctor’s visit soon because this unemployed kiddo has no health insurance. WONK WONK.
