I have a badly swollen knee. Can’t get to physiotherapist so not wanting to cut off blood supply to my leg , armed with elasticated bandage I thought google ‘ bandaging knee’ in the hope of learning to do it properly .

But I googled bondage instead of bandage !

Whoa! grin was it interesting Annie ? can’t think of anything worse personally!
Did you fall over, swollen knee? Hope you feel better soon, have a large gin.?

gmelon Mon 22-Oct-18 14:02:24

Oooh!
Has it taken your mind off the knee pain?

Situpstraight1 Mon 22-Oct-18 14:02:36

Hmmm, Freudian slip?

At least you’ve learnt a new skill!

glammanana Mon 22-Oct-18 14:05:59

Poor you,you may have a poorly knee but not lost your sense of humour.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 22-Oct-18 14:08:30

I expect it was highly informative ??????

lemongrove Mon 22-Oct-18 14:10:48

Who knew what fun you could have with tight bandages!

BlueBelle Mon 22-Oct-18 14:14:42

Would your gp practice not send a district nurse (or community nurse, maybe the new name) to you to bandage your poor knee Anniebach Do you know what has caused it?

Anniebach Mon 22-Oct-18 14:25:28

Interesting ? It was awful , thankfully I was lying on the sofa , if I had been sitting at the desk I would have fallen off the chair. I now wonder was it soft pawn, if so what on earth is the other , one hears of the ‘dark net’.
it was not funny ?lemon, and I way past anything related to sex to be informative GrannyGravy

It was boring , perhaps wrong choice of word ?

BlueBell, i think it’s arthritis, my younger granddaughter thinks it’s dislocated

Synovitis---a form of arthritis when the synovial fluid around the knee joint is depleted. It's pretty painful but usually goes as quick as it appears unless it doesn't then the fluid has to be drawn off to relieve the pain and lack of movement in the joint.

It's difficult to get the right tension annie with bandaging if you don't know what you're doing - best to request a home visit from the GP/Community Nurse for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Jalima1108 Mon 22-Oct-18 15:31:59

Have you got one of those knee supports? Although it could be too swollen even if you have one.
I wouldn't try bandaging it yourself - you could be making it like a tourniquet! and too loose is just the same as not using one anyway.

I think phoning the surgery for advice would be the best way to go.

But turn that porn pawn off before they come!

Luckygirl Mon 22-Oct-18 15:51:32

Oh whoops! I hope it at least took your mind off your knee!

Willow500 Mon 22-Oct-18 15:52:18

Ouch Annie - I hope you can get someone out to look at it (your knee that is - best not direct them to the bondage site!) It needs checking and then bandaging properly.

M0nica Mon 22-Oct-18 16:33:48

Nearly damaged my knee falling off my chair laughing! I did something similar some years ago, ended up with pages of gay porn!

Annie sympathy for your bad knee, do get someone in to examine and bandage it for you.

sodapop Mon 22-Oct-18 16:35:59

Sorry about your knee Annie but you did make me chuckle.
Get professional help with treatment and bandage. As lemongrove said a large G&T will ease the porn pain.

I once googled fiends reunited and was a little surprised at what came up!
I think that as long as you didn’t use your credit card you’ll survive!

Katek Mon 22-Oct-18 17:33:57

I was looking for bits and pieces to dress the castle dungeon set in last year’s panto so went online looking for manacles. Need I say more...,,?!

Hope knee is better soon annie

Purpledaffodil Mon 22-Oct-18 17:53:39

Colleague planning a science lesson for Year 4 Googled melting wax. It seemed an innocuous search term, but the results were definitely not suitable for children! Hope knee feels better soon Annie

Anniebach Mon 22-Oct-18 18:14:44

Thank you all x

Manacles, fiends reunited and melting wax to be avoided. ?

Just measured my knee, good knee 12”, bad knee 17 1\2 inches , best see physiotherapist!

GrandmaKT Mon 22-Oct-18 18:19:12

Reminds me of when a friend was suffering with the menopause. Having googled "Too hot in bed", she was amazed with the results she got! shock

Jalima1108 Mon 22-Oct-18 18:21:07

I'm still pondering the 'melting wax' one but I'm NOT going to google it.

Farmor15 Mon 22-Oct-18 20:18:47

I wanted to be able to tell whether kittens were male or female and realised I needed to be very careful what search terms I used!

Grannyben Mon 22-Oct-18 20:29:27

I had a colleague who once googled water butt. She only wanted to know the price but I don't think she ever got over the images she saw
