In so much pain......

I decided to walk two miles home from the garage after dropping my car off for a small repair. This was almost six weeks ago now.....

I decided to "give it some" as my exercise levels are not what they should be. That's what you get for walking Roxy and not Lennon

Anyway, the upshot of this burst of energy is pain in my left calf and behind the knee.

Went to the doctor who said I had damaged the hamstring muscle and ligaments. She gave me some anti-inflmatory suppositories (don't ask), some more pain killers, and referred me for physio (privately).

This is all very well, but.....

I want less pain, not more
I can't keep the suppositories in
The painkillers hardly make any difference at all
I can't sleep
I spend half my day in tears...

I just got back from walking (limping) the dogs round the block, and at the last bit, something "popped" at the top of my calf just behind my knee. The pain was so bad, I actually cried out. For a few seconds, I couldn't actually put my foot back down on the floor. How I managed to get back in the house is a mystery.

I've had to call in sick. This is a nuisance, as I was interviewing at 10am today, and have a meeting set for 0930 tomorrow.

I've tried to call the doc, but surgery wasn't open.

I really don't know what to do now.

I need the loo, but the thought of going up and down the stairs is horrible

Oh Vicki that sounds so very painfull, I was sat here whincing reading that. Perhaps a taxi and a drive to A & E might be in order!

I agree with Shaza a trip to A&E may be your best option. Big Hugs to you.
Becky

Off to A&E you go......before you do any more damage.

Sending you some special Fudgey hugs to be administered as required. Some from me as well....

so sorry to hear you are in so much pain Vicki

yes i think you are gonna need it xrayed hun

go A&E and get yourself sorted and some decent pain relief

Ouch Vicki that sounds very painful. As the others said get yourself off to A&E and get checked out properly. Let us know how you get on.
Sending you some gentle (((hugs)))

I honestly don't think I can make it there..... I've tried calling Baz but he's not answering....

taxi time......take some pain killers and ring. If it is that bad then you REALLY NEED TO GO. Keep ringing Baz and get him to meet you there.

Not sure what circumstances they will send an ambulance out, but might be worth a call to A&E to see.

Fingers crossed you get help quickly....it does sound really bad.

Oh Vicki - you poor, poor thing.
I agree with the others. Get yourself off to A&E as soon as you can. Get a taxi and when you arrive ask the taxi driver to pop into the hospital to ask for a porter to bring a wheelchair.
