Good afternoon

Sunday night I had a bit of a fall did not think it was too bad but, omg the pain over the last 2 days has been nasty, have hurt my back and side and now my right leg is becoming numb. that's what I get for not being extra careful.

Cant get to see the doc as shes full need to phone back tomorrow at 8am and hope i get an appointment if not ill pop into the local a@e

Take care

    Why don't you pop down to A@E today especially if you are having numbness in your leg you don't know what you might have damaged, let us know how you get on..........tc.............Marie xx

    Oh dear, tumbles are nasty aren't they? They can certainly shake one up for some time and any damage isn't always immediately apparent. I hope you have been taking it easy and that you soon get to see someone about it. DD

    You have my sympathy and empathy, lily. I went a over t nearly two weeks ago and I can still feel it.

    Like villier, though, I don't like the sound of the numbness. Was your surgery aware of it when they told you to ring back tomorrow? Why not try the 111 service?

    Lily, I'm sorry you've had another fall, I agree with everyone else that you should just go to A&E and get the numbness looked into. You don't know what could have got damaged from the fall. I sympathize with you what with recently having a fall myself.

    How did you get on when you saw your GP Lily? I hope things are a little easier today.
