Just back from A&E

Will do, thanks.

Do you know if it's normal for the injury site to feel very hot?

Edit to add: No frozen peas, only sweetcorn. Will send my wife down to the shops.

That’ll do too, I use budget peas though as can’t eat afterwards

Hot is probably normal as it’ll be bruised and inflamed

Ooft. Sounds like a bad one. Hope your recovery is swift.

 

[DCBassman]

Ouch, GWS, GC!

 

[rugby bloke]

Get well soon, hopefully you will come back stronger than ever.

My wife came of a few years ago. Did not realize she had broken her collar bone. Carried on riding the 5 miles to the cafe. Then rode the 40 miles home. Went to work the next day. Then she realized she may have damaged something went to the local hospital. They x rayed it and sure enough it was broken. So she is really hard or there are a couple of whimps on this forum.

Ouch - yes breaks hurt and can feel hot.

PS co-codamol isn't that strong, so go see the GP for 60mg of codeine !

Two full strength co codamol will give 60mg codeine

I'm told cocodamol is prescription only anyway. I'll call my GP and see what she says.

Could have been a lot worse but GWS.

 

[Gravity Aided]

GWS,@glasgowcyclist , hope you are feeling better soon.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Exactly!

I'm sitting here feeling kinda crap but I recall all the stories of others on here (@vickster @fossyant etc) and realise how minor my injury is.

Prescription stuff. Over counter is 8mg per tablet with 500 paracetemol. He may have the strong stuff !

Nah, just hit the morphine !!!

I throw up violently if I take morphine. I discovered this after a Hernia operation and nearly burst my stitches.

I had morphine in the waiting room for the injury above. It made me feel worse than the injury itself. Horrendous.

I was also given codeine for recovery. Stopped that too as it messed with my brain - couldn't think straight.
