בדרך למרפאה הייתה לי שוב סחרחורת, והרגשתי שגם הפצע בברך עדיין כואב.

Literally, it means on the way to the clinic.

• בדרך = on the way / while on the way
• למרפאה = to the clinic

So the whole opening phrase sets the scene: this happened while the speaker was going to the clinic.

Both can mean to the clinic, but ל־ is the most common everyday way to mark destination in Hebrew.

• למרפאה = to the clinic
• אל המרפאה also means to the clinic, but can sound a little more formal, literary, or emphatic.

So בדרך למרפאה is the most natural everyday phrasing here.

Hebrew often expresses physical sensations with a structure that is literally there was to me...

So:

• הייתה לי סחרחורת
  literally: there was to me dizziness
  natural English: I felt dizzy / I had dizziness

This is a very common Hebrew pattern with experiences, feelings, and bodily states.

The word לי means to me, but in this kind of sentence it functions like I had.

Because it agrees with סחרחורת, which is a feminine singular noun.

• סחרחורת = feminine singular
• therefore: הייתה

Hebrew verbs in the past tense agree with the subject in gender and number.

So the grammar is based on סחרחורת, not on the speaker.

Because Hebrew word order is flexible, and this placement sounds natural.

• הייתה לי שוב סחרחורת = I had dizziness again
• שוב modifies the whole situation: it happened again

Putting שוב after לי is a normal way to say that the dizziness returned. Hebrew often places short adverbs like שוב, כבר, עדיין, and גם in positions that may feel a little different from English.

Because the verb itself already shows the subject.

• הרגשתי = I felt

The ־תי ending tells you the subject is I. Hebrew often drops subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb form.

So:

• והרגשתי = and I felt

Adding אני is possible, but usually only for emphasis or contrast.

שגם is made of two parts:

• ש־ = that
• גם = also / too

So שגם means that also or that ... too.

In this sentence:

• והרגשתי שגם הפצע בברך עדיין כואב
• and I felt that the wound in/on the knee was also still hurting

The idea is that not only was there dizziness again, but the wound was bothering the speaker too.

Because כואב agrees with הפצע, not with ברך.

• הפצע = the wound → masculine singular
• ברך = knee → feminine singular

The structure is:

• הפצע ... כואב = the wound hurts

So the adjective/participle כואב matches wound, which is the thing doing the hurting.

A common learner mistake is to look at the nearest noun, ברך, but the true subject here is הפצע.

Because Hebrew often uses the present tense for an ongoing state, even inside a past narrative.

So:

• והרגשתי... כואב
• literally: and I felt... hurts

In natural English, you would usually say was still hurting, but Hebrew can keep כואב in the present to show that the pain was ongoing at that moment.

A fully past version with כאב is also possible in some contexts, but עדיין כואב sounds very natural when describing a continuing condition.

Hebrew often leaves possession implicit when talking about body parts, especially when it is obvious from context.

So הפצע בברך naturally means something like:

• the wound in/on the knee
• and in context, usually the wound on my knee

Also, Hebrew uses ב־ very broadly for location, including places on the body where English might prefer in, on, or at.

So בברך here is best understood as in/on the knee.

Because in Hebrew, the prepositions ב־, כ־, and ל־ combine with the definite article ה־.

So underlyingly:

• ב + הברך becomes בברך

In unpointed everyday Hebrew spelling, you usually do not see the ה separately.

That means בברך can represent in/on the knee with the article built in.

So even though you do not see a separate ה, the phrase can still be definite.
