Today's Injuries

[jodg]

Fell off a machine at work, grazes up both legs, battered knee and bruised ribs. Was gonna have an easy weekend doing nothing, even that will be painful now
Bit of Strongbow painkiller required tonight
Probably go and see my friend who just lost his wife on Wednesday, died suddenly, no warning signs, didn't drink or smoke, regular road runner and gym goer, aged 42. Life is cruel sometimes

Take it easy Merry, get better soon. Have a 'medicinal potion' for me.

Sorry to hear about your friend's missus. There's no rhyme or reason sometimes, is there? Just gotta make the most of if while you can.

Cheers jodg, live for today is my philosophy also Although i'm in a "bit" of pain, it's nothing compared to my friend's. He's one of the nicest blokes you could wish to meet, hope i can offer him some sort of support.

Hairy Legs, I did that a few weeks ago... had it x-rayed the day after though, going into a&e early Monday morning wasn't quite so bad, as you can actually fracture the shoulder while dislocating it. Soft tissue damage will cause a fair amount of pain, but start moving it within it's range of movement just against the pain level, i.e. when you feel discomfort but no pain, 48 hours after it happened. I am almost 6 weeks down the line now and have 90% mobility and 60% strength back... mind you, the muscle I tore in the process still hurts a tat...

I've become bit of a veteran when it comes to dislocating my shoulder. It started popping out when a was 18. Had two major ops the last one 3 years ago, spent three months in a sling then two months physio. I worked damn hard after op and was confident it would'nt dislocate again how wrong was I Have been on a real low all week not so much from the pain but knowing its started all over again.The worst one I had was in bed, I woke up with a dislocted shoulder, my arm was locked above my head and I passed out few times. The doc's can never get it back in so I try and get it in myself. Hope yours heals 100% as its not nice and the pain is up there with child birth lol ha. (my wife has just read this and says nothing will ever compare with child birth not even 2 dislocated shoulders and a punch in the mouth)

That is what I fear most Hairylegs... that the shoulder has now become unstable and it will happen again and again and again...

Haven't had any children, so can't comment on the comparison with childbirth, all I can say is that I was glad I was in the middle of nowhere, because the expletives I shouted when it dislocated and when I popped it back in were not for other peoples ears! Worst pain I have ever felt... almost passed out!

I fell yesterday, while out on the hill... stuck both arms out to break the fall, as one does, and it really jarred the shoulder and it feels the way it felt weeks ago now. Thankfully, it stayed in place! Had my front teeth through my upper lip though, like I used to as a kid!

Oh well, at least I was able to continue my run, as I was rather enjoying it!

Got a big open sore on my heel after the Rab, have tried to keep running but it wont heal. Have cut the back off a pair of old walshes tonight so hoping they will stay on my feet and let me run without causing agony

[Darth domain]

[team pie]

that and the OMM in a few weeks Ady. The grand tour rules!! We need someone to act as treasurer (not me cause i am crap with money) that is willing to make bookings etc...

[Chugger]

I thought it was going a bit too well: had to abandon my run after 10 mins today with soreness in my lower quad. getting worse........who knows why??
Perhaps it has something to do with the speedwork I attempted on Wednesday (actually enjoyed it, even if it was on the Tarmac!!).

I'm posting here in a vain attempt to save my nearest and dearest from a monologue of angst........why is it that I keep getting injuries? Will this one be a "biggie" or just a twinge? when do I try running again? Will you have killed me before then? (No jury in the land would convict my long suffering bloke, if he could no longer keep up the pretence of nodding and faining mild interest in todays new pain/symptom/anxiety about not being able to run AGAIN!!)

Perhaps an opportunity to get down to some serious studying tomorrow?? Wish me luck/patience/inspiration/no sharp objects in the vicinity before a miraculous recovery occurs.
