The other day my knee decided to swell up and start aching like the devil! I don’t think I fell or slipped or otherwise stressed in any way either. The skin on it is blazing hot and swollen and I can get around if I hobble. I was sound asleep a few minutes ago when the wife farted in her sleep and rolled over and bumped it - and I shat myself in agony and hit the ceiling!
I scrabbled into the TV room and fell into my recliner...and figured I was good. I got snacks, and the wife got some frozen peas, wrapped them in a towel and put them on my beshitted knee... but now I’m trapped!!! I can’t get up without that thing tormenting me with searing waves of pain! And now I gotta pee.
Ordinarily I’d try to walk it off... but that might be making things worse. If I am not heard from in the next 12 hours... please send one a the

If it is gout, I'm an expert at the treatment. I get it in the joint of my big toe.
ReplyDelete1. Go on the wagon. No alcohol of any kind.
2. Increase your water intake - pretend it's beer and you're thirsty.
3. Take an anti-inflammatory.
4. Elevate your afflicted appendage.
5. Add a baggie of ice-water to said appendage, keeping it on five minutes and off five minutes.
6. Most importantly, see your favorite witch doctor ASAP. He'll give you some pills. Follow directions when taking the pills.
You should pull out within 3 to 5 days. If you don't, call the sawbones back, because it's something else.
