Should I see a doctor about my knee?

I fell right before Christmas. My knee still hurts. The swelling and bruises are gone, but whenever I'm inactive, it starts to hurt, to the point where it wakes me up early in the morning. DH has been bugging me to go to the doctor, but I feel silly. I feel like it's going to turn into this big thing that will end with me being told to ice it or take Advil. But on the other hand, it really fvckng hurts sometimes. It doesn't affect walking, but I don't know yet if it affects running or biking. Would you make an appointment?

    I would. Especially if it's been waking you from sleep. Make an appt!

    Seems like whenever I figure out what ails me, it goes away. 

    So yea, get it checked out.

    I'd make an appt. if I were you. If it's something that needs to be fixed, the longer it goes unfixed, the worse off you'll be (recovery, arthritis later on, etc.). If it isn't something that needs fixing, then maybe they can get you a brace or some PT to help it heal (since it obviously hasn't). At the very least, it might put your mind at ease that it isn't something to worry about, just to deal with until it gets better.

    I would, more because it's weird that it seems okay with movement and weight bearing, but wakes you up from a sound sleep. 

    Does it hurt more with weird weather patterns? I wonder if you could have injured your meniscus and have a bit of arthritis. GL, I'll hope for an easy treatment plan of ice & advil!

    It hurts when it rains. My right foot also hurts then (I had surgery on it in college). I'm such a mess

    Didn't we discuss wrapping you in bubble wrap at some point? Maybe not such a bad idea. Much like the appointment!
