Only I would get diagnosed with a hamstring tear and feel smug about it
#i’ve been saying this whole time it’s the tendon. it’s the tendon. all along the back of my knee there’s pain and it’s because of the tendon#but did anyone listen to me? NO#i could’ve kissed the doctor. i was like THANK YOU for diagnosing me with two sprains at the same time#I TOLD YOU PEOPLE I HAD A COMPLEX INJURY AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS TAKING SO LONG TO HEAL#but did anyone listen??? NO#she also thinks i have joint hypermobility. i’m in love with her#my family members were all like waah waaaah a knee sprain shouldn’t take this long to heal#you’ve got cartilage stuck behind it; you need surgery#NO THE FUCK I DON’T#i had TWO sprains at the same time. my patella said ‘i think i’m going to go over there’ and my MCL and hamstring both said ‘FUUUUUUCK’#to clarify.. i’m not happy but i AM smug because now i know that 1) nothing is structurally wrong in my knee#(apart from that my patella sometimes likes to bugger off) and therefore I DON’T FUCKING NEED SURGERY#and 2) going to the hospital literally wouldn’t have helped me. it would never have changed my recovery time#i just would’ve known from the beginning that i’d be looking at months rather than weeks#knee sprain is 2 weeks. HAMSTRING TEAR?????? could be another 4 weeks on top of the 4 i’ve already experienced#anyway so ya girl is going to be x-rayed to make sure i don’t also have a cartilage injury (lol) and my patella is in fact#where it’s supposed to be. and they also want me to see physio. which i’m going to do#i don’t want anybody to fucking tell me i don’t know my body ever again. i TOLD you people it was the tendon and did anybody listen???? no#well anyway i’m going to have a fish finger sandwich and then i need to dust the house#because unfortunately my treatment plan involves exercise. goodbye cruel world#at least i’m allowed to take as many painkillers as i want. well i think that was what she said. that’s what i heard anyway#personal
