    I was getting really bad headaches about a year ago. When I mentioned I was having to take paracetemol to keep the pain at bay, she decided I'd become dependant on them (after 5 days), and I was getting medication overuse headaches.

    Yeah, thanks for that love.

    @Waffdon

    I have migraine at the pretty bad end of the spectrum in terms of frequency and stretching my neck properly significantly helped. It's probably not the sole answer to your problems, but simple things like that aren't just (always) just quackery or a way to fob you off. It's worth starting out trying things like that to see if they help.

    @SvN

    Lol. Paracetamol is pretty low on the list of culprits for causing medication overuse headache (although it can), but definitely not after 5 days...

    Was looking forward to a game of football in the sunshine today, 5 mins in and some geezer comes and knicks the ball off me as I'm shooting. I kick his heel and he goes down like a sack of shit so that's both our games ruined. He can't stand but 111 suggest getting a cab to A&E as their paramedics will be a while so we carry him into an uber and off we head.

    My guy's just been released with an x-ray proving inconclusive. Likely ligament damage and a sport clinic appointment in a few days time but it took 6 hours and all he came out of it with was a pair of crutches and a referral. Tuesday 6pm Homerton hospital. I hear US isn't far off similar waiting times and they pay through the arse but I struggle to believe this is even the median across developed countries. What a state of affairs.

    If the bone is not snapped, the inflammation probably makes it difficult to actually properly scan (I'm not a doctor, I'm Yevrah). Better to RICE it, let the swelling go down and see the condition after a few days.

    Inflammation is unlikely to affect x-ray interpretation. It's just not an exact science; some teeny tiny line could be a miniscule fracture, could be nothing.

    Advice, crutches and referral to clinic is the correct management. What would he have preferred? An unnecessary cast and/or operation?

    I don't know about him but I would have preferred not wasting my entire evening in a waiting room whose demographics made me feel like a malnourished prize gammon.

    So now I know all will be well, not sure if this is thread worthy or not or if anyone can relate. My mother has always been a trooper, very much the sort who'd put a few men to shame but she's stubborn as fuck. Fine, it is what it is.

    She isn't getting younger though and her health isn't bad but it isn't good either. She enjoys long walks in the mountains etc but physically, she can't manage it all the time but will try anyway. She found herself in hospital again recently after once again going OTT and there is just no talking to her. She'll do what she wants to do regardless but one day I'm certain she'll collapse again and won't be fortunate enough to be near someone or close enough to get to a hospital. I try to tell myself that I am perhaps overreacting but I do fear she's going to drop dead sooner rather than later and what's worse? I don't think she actually cares or believes that it isn't us (the family) being silly, it's her thinking she's superwoman.

    I can visualise the ending to the above quite vividly, as though I have already seen it. Not sure what I'd do if she snuffed it but I dread it when a family member calls me these days for that reason.

    Does she actually have some significant health problem(s) that make overexerting herself dangerous, or is she just getting older?

    The people who live til they're a billion are without fail the ones who stay active and keep having something to live for.

    I probably have a bit of a different outlook on death to most people, but I'd much rather my Mum died living her life a bit too hard than she slowed down and then went all frail and withered away.

    I'm not entirely sure of the full extent. She's had two mini strokes before now but she's a weird one. One day she'll be clearly struggling to move, the next you might find her hauling paving slabs in the back garden or something.

    I'd rather she died living her life for sure but I'd like to think if she actually listened to the professionals that she'd have a lot more life to live. I'm sure there are things she hasn't mentioned but if she hadn't ended up in hospital then I'd probably not have been told a thing so as not to worry.

    My backs gone! It’s done it before and it’s normally ok after a few days, it’s really painful this time though. Currently walking like my Grandad did in his 80’s.

    Muscular or trapped nerve?

    I’ve found using a lacrosse/cricket/tennis ball up against a wall isn’t extremely painful but quite good at working out issues.

    Foam rollers hurt also, but the benefit is worth it.

    The massage gun I bought was a bit too powerful though.

    I don’t like stretching. I tried doing yoga during lockdown but lasted about 2 videos before realising the instructor lady was too hot to pay attention to. So very.

    I’ve been so ill today. Went out for a curry for someone’s leaving so last night, but drove and was home in time for Love Island. Woke up this morning feeling fine. I have like 4 apprenticeship assignment deadlines today so had dedicated my entire day to rattling them off. Got to about 10:30 and I started feeling sick. Went for a diabolical poo at about 11 and felt dead achey and shaky. Carried on doing work, but had about 4 super soaker propelled poos over the next hour, and was then sick.

    Curled up in bed at 1 and have been here since. I’ve stopped shivering now and I ate an orange but immediately felt like spewing again, but instead had another sit down squirt and curled up back in bed.

    My daughter had a sickness but about 2 weeks ago, which my wife then got and then my son, but I thought I’d managed to miss it. Not sure if it’s that or a dodgy curry to be honest. Just hope I feel better tomorrow and can do stuff in the morning, cos finally rolling out of bed only to demand to watch the football isn’t gonna go down well.

    Feel dreadful though. Got some original Lucozade energy that my family always swears by when you’re ill, and my trusty roller cola flavoured air up water to hopefully see me through to the other side. Ugh gotta go need a poo…

    Lucozade is so good when you’re not well.

    Don't know a better place to put this but having only lost my dad in July (see the Big C thread) my mum's gone this evening. She didn't keep well anyway and then with my dad gone basically gave up and slipped away earlier today.

    I'm going to give losing two parents in 8 weeks a firm 1/10, would not recommend.

    During the night I had the lovely experience of shooting liquid out of both ends. Somehow managed to keep it all in the toilet/sink, but my god it was grim. Now feel like I’ve been beaten up. Dreadful timing, work-wise, but a day in bed is definitely required.

    How many has it been? I had the most outrageous diarrhoea I'd ever experienced earlier this year and after nearly a week I rang 111 and got put through to a GP who was like 'ring back if it persists after ten days'. I was absolutely raging by that point, tried drinking fermented milk products and reverted to wet wipes on my battle weary brown eye. Stopped the next day.

    I use wet wipes for every poo anyway.

    Wednesday about 10, Thursday about 5, then maybe 3 each on Friday and Saturday. Yesterday I gave up "eating sensibly" and had chips, fried rice and curry since everything seems to go straight through me anyway I might as well eat something nicer than plain bread, bananas and ricecakes.

    You want to eat something really spicy. That'll kill off the germs in your system and sort you out.

    So I’m loaded up on penicillin and cocodamol.

    You have a baby and a school age kid Baz.

    The baby keeps you knackered so your immune system is fucked, and the kid brings a steady stream of germs home for you.

    I have a cunt of a cold right now myself.
