Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've just felt something rip in my calf as I was leaning over to put Oscar the hamster back in his cage . It's agony . I've got an icepack on it but suspect I'll be hobbling for a day or so . I had pulled it slightly this morning on a run but this is much worse .

Scramble Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Aw, ANH Can't offer any advice, just sending you ((Hugs)) Don't go blaming 'ickle Oscar now just because it happened by his cage... It's also an excuse not to do the housework Get better Relax, chill, put your feet up - if it doesn't hurt - and dictate from the living room sofa x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitbag Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ouch! Maybe you should go to your local minor injury clinic at your A &E!? Maybe some chocolate will make you feel better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I should spend the weekend on the sofa with your foot elevated on a velvet cushion. Laptop at you side. I hope it is less painful today Vicki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 As a nurse - I;d say continue with ice , painkillers and elevate. Oh has to cook and supply copius amounts of tea and TLC and cold drinks. Need reading material and TV remote at hand. And no stess what soever. Enjoy - you deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ouch - hope that feels better soon! Lots of chocolate and rest prescribed from me - I hasten to add I have no medical training whatsoever If it is still really painful I would get it checked out!

chelsea Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ooooh, sounds really painful.... Put your feet up for the weekend ANH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 It's not painful unless I try to walk, when it's really painful but I don't know what I've done to it to make it go like this . I put an icepack in a teatowel on it last night for about 20 mins then put Ibuprofen gel on it before bed (it had gone red before doing that). It feels really hot to touch .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 As we're going on holiday 2 weeks today (with lots of hillwalking) and the doctors is closed, I thought I would just pop along to A&E to be on the safe side (it's only 15 mins away). Recognised the doctor - he treated mum last year . Didn't seem surprised that we're estranged . Anyway, all's well (ish) - he was surprised by the amount of redness but said it is just a pulled muscle and I should just take it easy and do as much as I can manage. Fingers crossed I'm OK for the holiday - OH has 15 Munroes planned . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Good grief that looks sore. Glad A&E sorted it out. Here's hoping all's well soon otherwise OH will have to do this up the hills! Although he doesn't need to wear a nursie outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
