Fed up

Well my knee is getting worse :-( not sure if there's some slight swelling as it feels tight and painful all around it and up and down the back of my leg. Referred myself to the work physio so hopefully I'll be seen in next few days/next week. Gutted to say the least

Oh no. :( Injuries are so miserable. RICE until you see the physio and hopefully they'll be able to help out. Sending healing thoughts your way.

You can buy packs of cold pads, which you pop in the freezer and use as you need and then refreeze again

We have a dedicated freezer food bag that has peas in it for this purpose

And you freeze, thaw and refreeze it (repeat as necessary) - wow
