My crusty knee

[NocturnalRob]

I'm an unnecessarily competitive person by nature. Which is why, when asked to join my company softball team, I initially said no. I don't like putting myself in situations where work relationships are strained due to something said in the heat of the moment of a sporting event. Nevertheless I was asked multiple times, so I acquiesced.

Nothing completely ridiculous has happened so far, but I did managed to shear off the top layer of my left knee taking out someone at 2nd. I hate these types of cuts--the kind that just ooze and never seem to heal properly? You wake up in the morning and there are crusties all over the place? This being said, does anyone have a solution other than continuing to put neosporin on it and hope for the best? It's really start to cut into the enjoyment of my morning runs.

Strawberry or a laceration... describe the wound injury again.

[NocturnalRob]

I'll take a picture of it when i get home from work. it's...oozy? not a strawberry. strawberry's don't ooze shit. it's literally like the top couple layers of skin got sliced off. It was fine initially, and now it won't stop ejaculating all over my leg.

[Some Rogue]

[Skeeter]

use neosporin and keep a bandaid on it. it will stay soft and shouldn't bother you too much. Other than that you just have to wait it out. should be fine in about 2 weeks.

yeah, that's what I figured. I was just hoping someone had a miracle cure...

There are no knee problems in Afghanistan.

lol

I'd just add, keep it clean with some Bactine or something, maybe once a day if that?

Get you some Aloe son.

Oh god. I'm so not clicking on this thread again. Thanks for the heads up. I am a pussy when it comes to viewing others wounds.

[Sean of the Thread]

That shit spreads like wildfire. I accidentally ran over a few pieces that fell out of the planter with the lawn mower this month and kicked pieces everywhere.... and now I've got 100 fucking aloe plants growing in my front yard.

yeah, that shit's almost as bad as kudzu, man. but at least you'll never have to spend money on it again!

LOL. Thats awesome. I heard planting aloe in your flowerbed was like giving herpes to your lawn/flower beds. Thanks for the confirmation. I'll keep mine in planters on the back porch.


To the OP.
I would recommend some hypafix over sterile gauze with neosporin during the day, changed daily and hydro (let the shower run over it nightly) as you let it heal. Just use gauze at night for breathing. You gotta protect the area since you scraped away a layer of dermal tissue or two. IMO

PS. I play softball for my company team (games tonight actually) and get those often. I did invest in some padded sliding shorts to wear underneath the outerwear. Its just the knees that are left unprotected (unless you want to look like a girl wearing kneepads out there).

[iJin]

Quit being a wuss and suck it up!


Doesn't draining the wound also help?

[NocturnalRob]

so before we get into this--yes, my legs are hairy. yes, my knees look jacked up. i played soccer for 22 years, ran track for 10, and was a catcher for 8. also, my leg is hiked up so my freakishly large quads are relaxed and flopped over my knee.

That being said, here we go. I took one with flash and without, just so you actually know what it looks like. Enjoy.

Tisket, cover your eyes!!

Give me a fucking break, I've seen worse at a Tee-Ball game and all the kid needed to shut up was an ice cream.

So try ice cream.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

That's not so bad..

Definitely use gauze when you can and I know it's common sense, but avoid any sort of trauma to the scab when it does scab over (either you picking at it or getting it caught on something/ripped off) because that'll guarantee you a bright pink scar for a while.

[NocturnalRob]

well, that takes care of most of that...thanks, guys!!

[Allereli]

I put tea bags on my hands when they rip, if you're really looking to try something out of the box. just prep them in hot water for a minute and apply directly to the wound. Never tried it on a scab like that though.

[NocturnalRob]

you know, it's not even that it hurts. it's that i wear suits to work and even when i put an adhesive pad and wrap it with gauze, it's still been oozing through.

nice wool does not do well with oozing bodily fluid.

[Shari]

That's nuts that its oozing so much. I wouldn't recommend it drying out into a scab. Its in that really shitty spot that ever time you bend it, that fucker is going to crack open.

I know, I KNOW this is going to sound nuts....BUT....you should try putting a pantyliner type thing on it as a bandage. It will keep it from sticking to the wound (like gauze) and its lined in a kind of thin plastic so it wont soak through your pants at work. Do it like this: neosporin, pantyliner, wrap with gauze (cause those liners are obviously sticky on the plastic side), pull on pants.

At night, I'd slap some aloe on it instead of the neosporin.

Edited to add:Oh, and if you do go with the pantyliner, just don't let anyone at work see you trying to change your bandage. :D

"Hey what's that on your knee?"

"Oh just a pantyliner."

[Skeeter]

christ that's just a tiny little strawberry. My knees looke like that from the start of softball season till the end.

I'm telling you.... use hypafix (barrier tape that wont let ooze through) over sterile gauze.

And shit, those are light strawberries. We had two sets of those occurr tonight... (yes, we won both games) :)

Any of you softball junkies have any interest in a PST that has had some after market work done to it?

I'm good on bats. Eventually I'll grab a meyhem. I currently favor an EST thats been hitting real well for me of late. Meaning its finally broken in (by use not by the roller conditioning).

Rolling an EST won't do anything anyway. That just works on composites. This PST I had shaved like 6 years ago, and has been sitting in my bag ever since.

I'm hot on the Jeff Hall Worth's right now.

On a side note I'll be playing in the major open tourney in Cinci this weekend. Wish me luck on not getting killed at 3b.

[NocturnalRob]

augh, i know it's just a bitch little strawberry but it oozes like a fucking thai prostitute's vagina. and i don't want to ruin any suits. Gan, I'll try the hypafix.

i'll save the pantyliner as a last result...

And why do you need to break in a softball bat? just hit it over the fence every time. jeez...

[BigWorm]

You can just use the pantyliner on your vadge since you're a huge pussy.

it's vag. second, we've already established that you can wrap your massive beef lips over your head as a fucking umbrella, so piss off.

douche

[Jorddyn]

Tegaderm. Buy it at Walgreens or the like. It's basically a plastic sheet you put over the wound. Make sure to thorougly cover the wound with Aloe or something first, though, so it doesn't stick to that part.

Thats what I couldnt remember... Tegaderm. If the ooze still goes through the gause and hypafix then you'll have to get large cuts of tegaderm.

So I didn't get killed at 3rd but I had some absolute lasers hit at me. We finished 13th out of 62 and top team in our classification.

The 2 teams that we lost to were 5th and 4th respectively. We really played over our heads this weekend, it was a lot of fun.

Very nice.

I play 3rd and pitch. I'm used to heaters. :)

[Skeeter]

If you ever get the chance to play against an A classified team I would reccomend it Gan. It's an experience. It was the first time I've ever went through the hand shake line and every single guy on the team was taller and heavier than me.

Same thing happened to me playing sloshball/mushball whatever you wanna call it.
