Awww...mate, hope Baz has gotten home and whisked you off to A&E! Big hugs xxxxx

Hoping you are back and they have managed to give you some decent pain relief.

Just caught this-Hope you are feeling a bit better.
Did you go to A/E?

Hi guys - A&E were not much help. All they did was confirm that it's muscular, and offer me a pair of crutches

As I had Baz to lean on, and Metis (the physio place) is just across the road a bit, I decided to go there and see if they could offer me a session immediately.

They did - I believe I cried almost all the way through it.

It turns out it's not my hamstring, but a deep calf muscle injury, and I think it's connected to my Achilles tendonitis.

Anyway, I'm home now, have another session Wednesday at 1.30, and although I'm very sore, I'm now a little hopeful. In the meantime, I have to rest it, keep it elevated, and use ice/heat packs to relieve the pain.

I shall be calling the surgery tomorrow to get a sick certificate. There's no way I can "do" work at the office.

Thanks for being there, my dear friends x0x

Awww Vicki,sending more (((Hugs))), hope the physio helps.

Poor you Hope you get some relief with the physio.
Did A/E offer you some decent painkillers?-if not get back on to your GP.

A&E only offered me crutches. TBH, I wondered why I had bothered........
I'll try my "usual" ones in a minute. I'm going to put a hottie under the knee, which, I'm hoping, may help (as the ice pack didn't).

Not so good on the A/E front then
Try frozen peas as an ice pack-they kind of "mould" round the leg and it is sometimes better than a conventional ice pack.
You def need to rest though-better stock up on ben and jerry's.
Hope you feel better soon xx

Sorry to hear youre in so much pain Vicki. I hope you feel better soon, do as the Doc ordered, take it easy, keep your feet up and get well soon!
Dawn.
