Yeah, it was a header i dived for it as the defender on the line, swung to clear, played on afterwards as pain wasn't bad, it wasn't until i took my gloves off, well spent 20 minutes trying, that i realised it was worse than i thought.

What did you break, Radius, Ulna or both.
I jarred my left knew two or three weeks ago when I went on a long trot around the 3 Peaks. My knee has been a little tender since (top rhs of my left knee) but not enough to stop me running, but in the last week or so I've been getting some water on the knee.
Yesterday morning I went for a 5 mile run around the Ingleton Waterfall Walk route fully intending to run at my full on, blistering, short race pace (ie ever, ever so slightly faster than bog standard). Unfortunately my knee was quite swollen at the start and seemed to grow in size as I ran so I found the perfect excuse to just trot round, chilled out and admire the waterfalls.
Like I said, whatever I've done doesn't stop me running but the water on the knee is definitely mother nature telling me something. Is a frozen bag of peas the answer?
Im strugglnig with the same thing Stolly, although not sure its water. More overuse and too much descent after a period of doing very little.
It was not stopping me running, but for every run I needed 3days off afterwards.
I have not run since last wednesday, done nothing really and now it seems to have got worse and hurts when I even walk down the slightest hill.
Physio tommorrow, I will listen to what he says, pay attention and build back up slowly.

radius, cracked, just been for the cast to be closed up.
will pmyou with numbers now
Went to the phsyio last night,
I have not done much damage to my knee, just knackered the connective tissue on the outside of my right knee. I still cant run 100metres without pain.
He examined my running technique and said that the top half of my leg rolls inwards and the foot points outwards as I run. He said this along with my long day out on the back of little training has caused the strain.
He has recommended me for Gait analysis and says that orthotics may help. Im very unsure about how these things help when running on the fells. Roads maybe, but on the fells the ground is so random anyway, I never get into a definate running style.
I interested in peoples views on this, do they just want to see the colour of my money?
He told me to rest for about a week, then build up slowly again. Running on the flat, he say I should stay off the hills for about a month. Thats great for fell running.
Cheers

Thats bad news in your BGR prep. re orthotics I have had a pair of relatively cheap (£35) ones since preparing for BG last year as I was getting discomfort on the top of each foot. This hurt hill or road and with the orthotics the problem did stop, so for me it was worth the payment. I had them fitted by a podiatrist who charged £20 for the consultation.
I now have a calf tear my third this year and this will put me out for a couple of weeks. I wonder if a more expensive pair of orthotics may reduce/ prevent the reoccurence of this as it is most certainly due to gait that it occurs.
I have found with my calf that the injury has always occurred on long road runs 18 -20 miles rather than on long fell days which I assume is due to the pace I run being much much slower on the fell?
I have recently seen Nick Dinsdale in Clitheroe, he is well known as a sports injury physio and specialises in orthotics and explains things very well and in depth. I asked about the benifits of orthotics for running on uneven ground and he said that your foot still needs the relevent support in the shoe irrespective of the terrain your shoe is landing on. Also core stabilty exercises with the orthotics in makes a lot more sense than without. They are not a cure all but everything he said made sense and it didn't cost the earth.
Set off for a run this morning, it was gonna be at least 10 miles. 2 miles in, fell over and wrenched my back. Hurt like hell and took my breath away. Tried plodding on, no good, walked back home and had a shower and found a lump up my back passage, think i've got Farmer Giles as wellGoing to sulk off to Tesco's for some preparation H. Hope i'm ok for Half Trog next weekend, if i've got in
Sometimes there's just too much information on this forum
