WTF THIS IS NOT FAIR! I can still walk around the house, do my workout, ride my bicycle no problem but as soon as I start walking for a moderate period of time it hurts and gets worse and worse. Last sunday my gf and I went for an afternoon walk and it got so bad that by the time I got home I couldn't even climb the stairs. Help

I had this happen last year. I ignored the pain until my knee swelled up like a grapefruit. Turns out I had lyme disease. Get yourself tested asap. Early lyme is curable but late stage will give you awful chronic symptoms.

>swelled up
It looks normal from the outside. It only hurts when I keep walking for a while.

Go to the doctor until you get it fixed, but you're probably in America. I bet that hyperindividualism and "PULL YERSELF UP BY DA BOOTSTRAPS" logic is going to work out flawlessly when you have to pay a 50k hospital bill and you'll either have to go bankrupt or work into your 70's to pay it off. But you'll defend capitalism to the death, even before you're right about to die or you have to get a leg amputated

I’ll defend it because paying for 100 million people’s knee 50k surgery is unsustainable in America

not a refutation, there's plenty of money to go around that billionaires refuse to pay in taxes. Other countries do it quite well like Germany which has a population of 83 million. Your argument is falling apart. You're defending a system that benefits you in no way, but also hates you and wants you dead kek. And so dead you will be, and you will suffer until your last breath living in poverty.

OP here:

Wrong.

>you have to pay a 50k hospital bill
Also wrong.

>you'll either have to go bankrupt or work into your 70's to pay it off
Wrong, again.

>you'll defend capitalism to the death
Still wrong.

0/10 couldn't even hit the target by accident.

Don’t wait too long to go see a doctor. I wish I had gone in right after I injured it. I’m six weeks out from surgery and I’m just barely off crutches.

Also I’m in Burgerland and my total out of pocket was a little over $2k

I got similar pain in similar circumstances recently, turned out to be iliotibial friction syndrome, which often comes from running over uneven terrain. I'd look at symptoms and see if they match. Maybe the fact that you can still cycle suggests it's not that, since flexing the knee is what causes pain and I wasn't even able to swim on it at first, but I think it's when your knee gets to a 30 degree bend that it's painful so maybe you're not getting there when you cycle.
Since it's a band connecting your knee to your hips you can alleviate the pain by doing pelvis/ hip exercises, leg raises are really good.

I once went on a hike that turned out to have some snow near the peak. The snow was really crusty, and the trail was steep, so I was kicking my toes in hard to get purchase.

Injured my right knee. Six months before I could hike at all, about two years before the pain went away completely. I had to learn to lead with my left foot. I fully expect it to come back as I get older.

Fellow meniscus surgery recovering anon here. Mine was minor so I haven't had to be on crutches, but they did some cartilage repair and excised the plica. Still can't hike though. 5 weeks out and can walk just about fine, going down stairs is a bitch though. Assuming you're doing PT, once you really start working on it your recovery will go quick. Good luck anon.

Healthcare is not a "right".
You want it, you pay for it.
Insured vs. not-insured prices differ SO much ... it's all a cash grab. I'd address THAT issue before wanting free stuff on the backs of workers which you commies claim to support/fawn-over/ass-kiss.
