Thanks for the tip about the pillow I am trying that out. I saw the GP and he has given me some anti-inflammatories and told me to keep the leg moving (he mentioned blood clots which was a bit scary!) but no physio till the swelling goes down. Some spectacular bruising starting to appear now and I am busy perfecting my "man walking through a minefield" impersonation

Every now and then I overstep and this pathetic little squeal comes out from my mouth
