    Hello, Oh dear, not your day today. :( I'm so sorry you'r in pain, have you tried putting something cold from the freezer on to it for a while, or else a heated pad. Be careful not to burn yourself, but you should find that eases the pain a bit. If it dosn't get better soon, I'd go to see the doctor. Take care, love Sue

    Hi Madness
    Ouch!! That sounds a bit painful :(
    Yes resting elevating and cold are the best idea as Sue said - I agree, but in light of the heart issue I would tend to just ring up someone for a bit of advice - NHS direct or the GPs surgery.
    You can't take risks can you.
    You take care and i hope it's better soon
