Episode # 14: "Prepatellar Bursitis" of
As my best friend said to me the other day... "Maybe it would be easier to tell us the things that aren't wrong with you."
Here's another one. This morning I went to the Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine doctor, from now on known as "ThePainInflictor", about my right shoulder and left knee that I have been killing me since I fell in the parking lot of the hospital on my way to the Sleep Study.
The doctor said that my shoulder probably was just a Rotator Cup Sprain and since it has already gotten significantly better that he assumed it would continue. The knee on the other hand... I showed him where it hurt and he started pushing on it. I grabbed the sides of the table and grit my teeth to keep from screaming.
He said when you fall directly on your knee you can bruise or bust was is called the Subcutaneous Prepatellar Bursa Sac. This sack will bleed or leak which can cause scar tissue. The scar tissue is what is so painful. This is a condition known as Prepatellar Bursitis. He gave me a sack full of samples of an anti-inflammatory (and to stop taking the Naproxen from "TheDrugDealer" as together they can cause ulcers) and said for me to go buy a Knee Pad and start wearing it for the next 3 - 4 weeks.
My next appointment with "ThePainInflictor" is November 16th. If my knee is not better by then he said he would schedule me for an outpatient surgery to go in and remove the scar tissue.
