Not far from where I lived at the bottom of Rowden Hill on the A4. I was young at the time so I didn't know much about it. My mum worked in St. Andrews Hospital which was 100 yds from the crash site.
Maz has visited the site on the anniversary of the crash and left flowers there, quite a crowd gathers apparently.

Argh nuts... blood pressure is a bit high 158 over 88. Was 6 months ago. Never had high blood pressure before. Most likely due to less than ideal exercise (for me) after busting my spine. 24h meter to wear in 2 weeks. Time to hit the potassium rich foods (which I've not had many recently) and get cycling
Yikes. Good excuse for more cycling!

I dread to think what mine is after the last 18 months, was a bit high then.

Doctors later to get something to help with my knee pain, Tesco 20p ibuprofen is not touching it :B)

Ibuprofen isn't good for blood pressure.

I was told to space paracetamol out over the whole day within a max of 8. Try one tablet every 2 hours.

I've packed in pain killers unless I really need it. The GP isn't keen on codeine.

Just going to buy a blood pressure meter as its possibly white coat syndrome having been prodded enough in the last couple of years. Going to try and avoid tablets if I can.

Try Paracetamol, honestly. People think they are ineffective, but an orthopaedic surgeon told me once that they are wrong to think that.
I'm actually taking a combo of Ibuprofen with Cocodamol as recommended by the pharmacist, but they said Naproxen would be better.

Weirdly it's my 'good' knee that is bothering me, not the already weak one that I hurt a couple of years back.

often its the good knee, because you tend to throw more weight on it, I'm on diclofenac but a lot of quacks wont prescribe it anymore
