almost 4wks post now and yesterday I got my daughter to take me to the shops as I haven't been out of the house much at all (other than my daily - short - walks).

Walked far  too much at the shops and here I am now, in the middle of the night, sufferingsad.  Not quite sure what to do - iced, exercised at bedtime, iced some more and have had plenty of pain meds but it's really painful, that tight band feels like it's going to snap my leg in two and so uncomfortable!

i have my second physio in the morning so really not looking forward to that!  

Why, oh why, did I do it?!

    It gets so boring and frustrating being stuck at home all day . . so easy to want to get on with life and overdo it!  I know i overdid it the first time I went to the hydrotherapy pool, and the next day I really suffered!  Hopefully, it will settle in a day or so . pity about the phsyiuo precisely today though!  that's not going to be fn. double meds i hope!
