Screwed my knee up pretty good.

I got off work tonight, and stopped by the local liquor store to get a 1/4 barrel (pony keg). Apperently they don't make them anymore (??). So i opted for a 1/2 barrel (full keg). Got home, picked it up, took one step and my left knee blows off to the side, dropped the keg, and spent about 5 min screaming bloody murder on the ground.

One of the people across the street came over to see what was up with the screaming.. after i recovered he helped me carry it inside.

Sooo, my knee is going to kill for the next week or so. I should probably go see a doctor tomorrow.

OUCH! I feel for you man. Yea see a doctor. Having a bad back and knees myself, I recomend a combo or Tramadol(non-narcotic) Naproxin and Cyclobensapreen. That combo works well for me, and if you have a good repour w/ your doctor he'll probably give it too you. But not a great idea to drink that keg on top of it. lol. But see him anyway to make sure nothing more serious is wrong than just the pain. I've pulled a 1/2 barrel up two flights of stairs once. Not fun! Easy to move out once their empty though LOL.

You're probably right, you should go see your doctor. Hope it gets better quickly.

A knee is nothing to NOT worry about. I suggest to go see a Dr . IMMEADIATELY!
Or the ER as you could have ripped the cartledge or worse (even though it might not seem bad) your tendon..
If you further damage it, you will really be up the creek..

So, did you go to the doctor ????

Yeah, he took an X-ray, and thinks my kneecap popped out of place and back in. I'm going to go back for him to check it out in a week. He put my knee in a immobilizer brace, and gave me some medication. I can actually hobble around pretty good with my leg locked straight like this.

Oh, and the keg is well too. I let it sit, and just tapped it a bit ago.
