Goody!
Well, I went to the doctor for my Evil Physical Exam of Doom™. (If you are female, or have spent time around females that are not related to you for any length of time, you KNOW what I'm talking about.)
Of course they looked at my leg instead. No, seriously. The leg is like, swollen and painful and such. The other thing can be rescheduled, and was, after I figured out that they couldn't do both.
So I /probably/ don't have a blood clot in it (given that it doesn't look like one - they'll know more after they do an ultrasound). What I may have is ...
tendonitis.
Yeah.
I have never heard of anyone getting tendonitis in anything that wasn't their arm. Oh, I'm sure it's possible. But I've never heard of it. I feel talented. :-D
I am wearing my magic shirt. It is floaty and goes to my knees (and I have to wear a camisole under it) and I'd best keep it away from kightp because it is purple and black. I feel like a fairy princess. Well, a fairy princess with possible tendonitis. A slightly lapsed fairy princess.
I suppose 'twas inevitable. :-D

I've had tendonitis in my left ankle... but I'm gimpy like that!

Mine's in the achilles tendon (assuming it's tendonitis). :-D Fun times all around.

I suspect that's what I did to myself a couple times before I wised up.

I was wearing some very thick soled flip-flops. But the foam rubber of the soles wasn't up to dealing with my weight. So every time I put my weight on it, my toes wound up half an inch higher than my heel. And my achilles tendon did *not* like all that stretching...

Oh, and that shirt? I bet you *could* wear it without the camisole. Just not in public. :-)

(I see there's another reply, so I'm not bursting your bubble with this one.) I have tendinitis in my knee. And I have had it since I was 12, gah.

(On a side note, it can be spelled either tendonitis or tendinitis.)

I actually have (had? Does tendonitis ever actually go away?) tendonitis in at least one of my knees. It is teh_suck. I have it in my right wrist too. Sometimes I think I should trade in my body for a new one. :)

It goes away, but it's one of those things that has a tendency to come back. It's, literally, inflammation of the tendon; the tendon can stop being inflamed, but if it happened once, there's a good chance that there are reasons it might happen again, and if the tendon is damaged, it could be more vulnerable to future injury.

Just another person who has had tendonitis in both knees. I guess we all have this special talent.
