I think I'm going mad...

[HeyWayne]

Sorry to hear you're laid up, sounds grim and you're coping with it in a brave way - for a man . Just don't try to say to Lady W, when she's in labour, "I know how you're feeling"!

There's people that cope with far more than I. Wouldn't even start to compare childbirth to anything I've felt. I may be many things, but downright stupid I ain't.

God what a brilliant idea, think of all those brownie points from LW, I'd love it if for once, just once my OH made the effort and wrote the cards.

Guess what I'm doing this afternoon!

Hope you are back to 'normal' really soon Wayne

lol, like it.

Don't worry hun, I'm a nurse, I'll put it in a sling for you.

Sling your ook, you mean?

damn that's why i never get round to sending xmas cards, i never got married to a woman .... actually never got married to a man either ...... i buy em, then promptly forget about them, then find them again about august the following year ...... *sends them all off to wayne, so he can write mine too*

[piskieinboots]

... Aggravated disc in the back, which is causing the muscles around my hip to tighten up, which in turn is sending pain down my leg....

I had noticed you were not 'around' but I'd got mesel into setting up this stupid new computer (which isn't yet finished) so I wasn't here much mesel...anyway ....

...as you know my back/leg issues are the very same as yours albeit several inches shorter (!) ...my fizzio said my years of weigh training/power lifting has made my quads, hamstrings etc so 'aaaaard that they make it worse.....zeeeeez

You already know this, sitting down too long makes things much worse, so get that piriformis stretched out lad

Funnily enough, my dude said I'm predisposed to have tight hamstrings/lower back muscles as a result of having problems from a young age (I've had back trouble since I was about 14).

Hey ho, we each have our cross to bear.

Just about to jump on the cross trainer, take some pills, then heat/ice the area.

I'll be back.

[lynda66]

I'll be back.

ooooooooo you sounded just like arnie when you said that

[HeyWayne]

ooooooooo you sounded just like arnie when you said that

You should hear my Spanish!

[MaureenHall]

Well you didn't look as if you had a bad back/hip/leg when you were cavorting around the Gardeners Rest last night

Get better soon though, LW needs you

[Rhona]

Oohh... sounds bad. Poor you. It sounds as though you're handling the pain with a cocktail of honesty, wit and gritted teeth. Or a cocktail of drugs. Or just a cocktail (my preferred option, Kir Royale x 3 please).

Try all three together and report back.*

*Rhona is NOT a doctor, and none of her barmy suggestions should be followed in real life. Ever.*

[lynda66]

You should hear my Spanish!

any chance of a bit of greek??

[snuffer]

Sorry to hear you are suffering HeyWayne. After breaking my spine and neck several years ago I know what back pain feels like. Isn't it curious how it causes pain in other parts of the body as well?

Hope you are up and about again soon.

[HayleyB]

Morphine - that'll do it

HW - you could take up knitting - little booties, bobble hats, awww

[lynda66]
