For the scab, put Polysporn on it. It'll soften it a little bit & it hurts less, if at all.

I didn't have access to any ice. I was stuck in the basement too long limping & crying. I still have my BIG ugly burse, but its not nearly as sore anymore. It only hurts if I poke at it heheh.

I've had knee & hip issues since I was 14ish. I use to scream & cry for days. Many times if not most times I couldn't use my legs. Only once they went totaly limp & I had no motor skills in them at all, but I felt pain. Stupid dog thought I was playing on the floor & he ended up dragging me all around the house until my folks returned home to get him off of me, hehehe

Now my legs only get sore from time to time, but not nearly as bad as before, its more annoying & causes me to limp a bit. My balance blows due to my knees not being able to hold much weight. Its kinda like balancing 2 tennis balls ontop of each other. So I have to stand with my knees locked.

ohwell nothing like before
