A Dog Ran Into Me Today...
41 Answers
...A big, daft, fat, chocolate labrador ran into me today whilst it was charging around playing with Tilly. I stayed upright, just, but I'm sure my legs went backwards by some degree. It really hurt and I limped home but was ok. Now, My left leg is very painful just below my knee, on the left side of my shin.
Will it wear off or may there be some damage?

RICE Tilly, rest, an icepack, compress gently if there is swelling and elevate your knee but with a rolled towel under the knee so its not completely straight... and a Sqad special wouldn't hurt or the pain relief of your choice. If its not improving, not better but improving, by monday, then to the doc.

I had a minor accident some years ago which tore the ligaments in both knees. I still have pain sometimes and use Absorbine Jr. You can't buy it here and I get it from ebay. It works very well. In the meantime, if you can take Ibuprofen, it should help with any swelling and pain. Ibuprofen makes me vomit, thus using the alcohol rub.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
