On the subject of pain

mattpI don't really know where this entry is taking me. It'll just be another ramble
Shortly after the biopsy, when I came around, I had a lot of pain on the top surface of my foot and immediately around the area where the biopsy took place.
That soon subsided and I was walking again, though limping a bit. Over the next few days the pain moved to my shin but was more of an itch.
And over the past two days the pain has been localised to my knee and it's quite a dull ache, though there are also occasionaly twinges of sharp pain. I'm also freuqenly getting a pins'n'needles sensation on the back of my leg. My limp is ore pronounced, and I've found that if I exaggerate it then this serves to limit the pain quite well. I also can't lift more than about 10kg in my right hand, as that puts too much pressure on my leg.
I'm not making this post to ask for sympathy but I know if I withhold comments then that'll just worry you even more. This is more for my own reference though I'll probably leave this friends-locked rather than private.
Ah. I've got a reason to leave this non-private. Once I have contact details I'll let people know and have a comment left with so that you're kept up-to-date.
On that note, as I mentioned at the tail end of last week, I'm going to hospital tomorrow and will be out at the weekend. I don't know more than that, but we shall see.
