Hello ladies. Yesterday while at a friends pool my hubby was in the waer with our kids while I sat on the side watching since it wasn't hot enough for me to go in. Well while my husband was playing with our son my 3 year old daughter went under! I yelled for my husband and I ran to grab her. He reached her first(she's fine wasn't under long since he was arms reach from her) but as I got there I slipped and fell on my right leg. I ended up with a severe ankle sprain and a knee sprain. I am now in an air cast for a month and on crutches. I am in absolute agony! And of course can't take anything good for pain. This is the worst pain I have ever been in in my life(yes worse than childbirth and my 2 csections!) I think if it was just the ankle it would not be as bad but with the knee also its torture! I am just glad my daughter is safe! And baby is fine also. All weight was on my leg. Baby has been very active and oblivious to mommys pain lol o and I am 25 weeks

Knee sprains are the worst! Ice is a natural pain reliever, but you have to make sure that you don't have too much padding between you and the ice pack.. a paper towel is plenty. And when you do heal up, make sure you ask your doc for restrengthening exercises..! Them are uber important..

@lucy_loo_288 its horrible! I have been iceing it and I place the ice pack in a thin tshirt. I was given restrengthening exercises at the urgent care facility I went to. Thank you :-)
