On the downside is did manage to stack it riding in a perfectly straight line. Going over some broken tarmac at all of 5-6mph I got pitched off violently (not sure how!) and landed like a sack of shit.
Currently waiting in the fracture clinic with a suspect broken collar bone
Hope it's not broken

Ooh...every cloud and all that. If you get to see an actual, real, in-the-flesh doctor, would you put him on the thread? There's a few symptoms I'd like to discuss....

Re: What have you done today thread?
Started out in urgent care....got immediately upgraded to A and E.
Then saw the A and E triage nurse and got immediately upgraded to fracture clinic.
Just waiting for the fracture nurse/doc now! BTW judging from the way the pain only flairs up when I move a certain way I'm going for dislocated over broken. I'm sure that's gonna be fun to fix.
There are some proper time wasters though. The guy in front of me had had two nosebleeds today. 2! Mate if they were emergency nosebleeds you'd probably be dead by now.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I spend several hours in A&E with a nose bleed when I was a teenager, it had been going non-stop for two hours before I arrived.
By the time the doctor saw me it had stopped... they kept me in over night, it turned out I had a really bad case of flu.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've done both, I'd recommend broken. When I dislocated it the end of the bone came out at the shoulder, that was 30 years ago, still isn't right.

Re: What have you done today thread?
You should be able to feel if it's broken, broken rather than chipped or whatever. It's usually pretty obvs. Just run a finger over it.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 8:16 pm I'll be sure to let them know thats the injury I'd prefer

Re: What have you done today thread?
Yeah, I'm betting in anterior dislocation at the "inboard" end. Its definitely sticking out more than the normal one.
Apparently treatment is "it'll be reet....maybe stay off the tennis for a while".
I guess the x ray is to confirm/rule out a break.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I just parked up the scooter when I finished the journey.
Drove my car home from the garage, picked up baby D on the way home. Necked a couple of paracetamol and pondered my injury a bit. Poked/felt the bone and bit to see if I could tell anything obvious then decided I should probably drive to hospital after I found my left and right sides didn't match.
Its one of those injuries which essentially doesn't hurt at all unless you move just the wrong way.
I actually screamed when the triage nurse was manipulating. Proper involuntary scream of pain, I've not done that in years! When she washed out my gravel rash I didn't even feel it.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Sadly, it probably would have made no difference at all
'Collar bone' is known as the biker's and horse rider's injury, from putting an arm out straight to break a fall. Something has to give, either wrist or collar bone.
Only way to avoid injury (or get a different one ) is to do a break-fall roll.
GWS broken dude.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I landed on my shoulder...I was actually wearing my old Alpinestars jacket which has shoulder armour and presumably helped a bit. Apparebtpy heavy falls/impacts on the shoulder roll it too far back/forward and pop the end of the clavicle out.
We shall see. Eventually.

18:00.
Average time in emergency department is 5.5 hours today according to the big telly.
Let's hope most people walk out on their own two legs after those 5.5 hour eh?
