I worked with Greg on Monday and told him that my shin was really hurting from the tendon scrape. Greg told me it wasn’t a scrape but rather an irrigation or lavage. He explained the process very well for me. He almost had it done in his ankle. Well OK, but it still hurts!
He stretched my knee out and told me that my range of motion is pretty good for my knee. My shin is killing me though! Once we were finished, Greg asked if I wanted ice on my shin while I waited for my mom to come back. It felt REALLY good!
Larry came over to help my mom transfer me from the table back to my chair. He asked how I was doing and I told him that my, “shank hole” was killing me! He replied, “Whoa, whoa, whoa – don’t start throwing around all of your “medical terms” now!” I laughed because, “Shank hole” is NOT a medical term but just what I call it because that’s what it feels like. I showed him that it feels like the incision is the size of a quarter with my thumb and index finger. Really it’s just a tiny slit but is still SO painful for me! STILL!!!
It was good to hear that my knee is getting better yet my shin hurts so badly still because of the Tenex that was necessary BECAUSE my knee still hurt. It really stinks and I told Greg that because my left knee is completely normal I know what it is supposed to feel like. And, that’s just cruel.
