So my insurance has lapsed until my husband has been at his new job for 30 days (3 more weeks) and I need some advice. While laying in bed I moved my leg and rolled it to switch from my back to my side. My knee (inner leg area lower part of knee) is in excruciating pain an 8.5. I used biofreeze, a heating pad, and took some Tylenol. It's still an 8.5 in pain when I am not moving in a bent position it is a full tingling ache from the pain site and extending down into my leg and pain feels like a 4. When my leg is extended my lower leg muscles feel soreness like I've been running. When I bend is when the pain is at an 8.5 and when I stand. The pain is a dull pain. Should I go to an ER (which we can not afford) or wait it out?
