been to A&E, this might slow me down a bit

am back from my local hospital, on crutches and codeine, awaiting an MRI scan, they suspect a meniscus injury, which is basically a torn cartilage, i am currently not a happy bunny :(

How on earth have you done that littleun?

Ow Lordy mrs.

Have you been over doing the slow speed manouveres?

Sorry to hear...get well soon.

not entirely sure if it was dropping the er5 on my leg last sunday or digging out the space for the 'Cat to park on afterwards .
either way with plenty of ibuprofen and it tightly strapped i managed to do my mod 1 on it lol.
no intention yet of cancelling mod 2,but i will follow doctors orders for now,just fingers crossed they dont rush me for an op, or im buggered for most of the summer :(

Sorry to hear that, hope you are feeling much better soon.

Gutted for you Littlecat. Get well soon!

Sorry to hear, get plenty of rest & get well soon.

no choice, the pain was driving me nuts by this morning.Mind you if i rest it till next friday , and provided they havnt taken a scalpel to me by then , im still intending to do mod 2 , they can worry about fixing me after that .

So how goes the injury ? Getting plenty of rest, keeping it elevated ? Ice packs for the swelling . . . . . . . is mod 2 looking good ???


I'm not nosey you understand . . . . . I just want to know everything

Rest with some gentle exercise, anti-inflammatories and heat/ice would be my advise but then what do I know?!!

anadin joint pain tablets are your friend had my xrays todays (think i was in more pain with them after they'd started manipulating me into various positions to get my knees flat on the boards! get the results next week - i'm sure mine is general wear and tear after an old injury and just playing me up at the moment with a bit of arthritis thrown in for good measure - nothing tablets and alcohol won't cure

Get well soon kid!
