Question is........what to do if her knee doesn't improve ??

Definitely call 111, or https://111.nhs.uk/ if you can't get through. At least you might then have a sense of what the next options could be.

New Zealand. Touring the North Island ... on t' bike of course.
Not done much travelling so for me it's a bit of an adventure.

Watch out for those volcanoes

She has now managed to hobble down the stairs and is sat with an ice pack on the knee.
I hope it improves quickly as I need a cup of tea

A pleasant enough day here.
We DID have plans to go to Stockton Heath, have walk around then lunch in a Turkish restaurant. However, something strange and unpleasant happened last night and we are not sure what course of action to take.
MrsD went to bed 15 minutes before me. When I went up she was lying on the floor.. just as she was about to get into bed her leg gave way and she was in serious pain around the knee. As we/she cant think of any cause we decided to let it rest overnight and hopefully all will be ok(I did help her into bed-as a gent' would). But this morning its not any better!!! I have just taken her something light to eat so she could then take 3 Ibuprofen. I am now waiting to see if they do the trick but tbh I have my doubts.
I was about to say "its no fun this getting old lark" but we have no idea what the cause is........and my back problem goes back 50+ years.

Go straight to the hospital. Don't bother with your Dr. Good luck and I hope Mrs D feels better soon Dave.

Right.....now come on all the oldies. We have to help numbnuts out here.
I will go first.
Its pretty obvious what you have. Its the common cold
or it may be bird flue
or double pneumonia.
The cure......
Mix vinegar, crushed red peppers and crushed garlic together. Apply liberally to your dangly bits and leave for 15 minutes.
Then lie in a bath of very cold water.
I promise that you will forget all about your snotty nose and your cough.
Next old fart advisor please.

He will forget the snotty nose and possibly break the 100m sprint Commonwealth Games record

Thats better, at least I don't have to worry about the ceiling coming down, though he did say the whole ceiling isn't in good shape.

The patch will be OK......just the rest of it will fall down.

Thanks for that.
She can now touch and even press the area.
She has, what is to me, a really bad habbit, of sitting on one leg ie she tucks one leg underneath. Talking it through I think she has twisted it when getting up, made it up the stairs and then the knee decided to pack in.
She is still hobbling a lot but at least she can move around.
We are going to see how it is over night.
Must say, it was a bit worrying.

I must admit, I have a habit of doing that as well.

Mornin' all.
Last time I'll be saying that for a while, at this time of day at least. Tomorrow, 'I'm leavin' on a jet plane'.

SQ51 (My lack of experience with these matters meant I first had to Google QF1!)

Just hoping I get in and out before the authorities bring down the coronavirus shutters!

Sorry for moving your house.
Someone on here lives there, it will come to me eventually.
Edit.......
But you are on Anglesey aren't you? Or have I got it totally wrong?

Sorry to confuse, I rushed posting the reply before going out to watch the rugby.

I do live near FMB. 🤭
