Portable bone healing system


if there is inflamation, some cold (ice) is useful for about 20 minutes.

then some heat to get the blood flowing and helping to heal.

I usually take a shower where I can change the temp of the water as needed. and ice when I'm sitting around. you don;t want to just freeze your flesh. stop when the skin gets red. it's just to reduce the inflamation.

It's been in a cast since I got it checked, so I can't really get at it anyway.

So, I read in the other thread you've been poorly. Whats up?

I stupidly fell and at the very least pulled my groin. There are No words to describe that pain.

for about 3 weeks I couldn't get enough sleep and felt like I was walking through water. at least this last week I feel like I get enough rest. even if I wake up in the middle of the night to take a trip to the bathroom, I can get back to sleep ok for the most part.

I've been trying to do some simple exercising this week - esp today. My muscles are in a hurry to get moving but I want to make sure not to reinjure anything. At least at this point the affected areas are less painfull. More annoying than excruciating.

And I've had enough energy to get some work done. The worse is over, thank the gods.

@ Cece

I hope you got a pelvis X-ray: you might have a cheeky little inferior pubic ramus fracture. There are others too...don't take a chance.

... and I'm not at all convinced by this aspirin wonder-drug craze.

Alternative medecine seems to have many mysteries, they even sell copper wrist bands in high street chemists and now elasticated supports with built in magnets.



Surely chomping on willow bark to get rid of headaches and various other pains was considered "alternative" (compared to good old tried and trusted leeches :lol:) until aspirin was first isolated...

No need to. The concept of an indescribable pain originating from the groin is well understood by any tree-climbing post-pubescent male that ever slipped and arrested his entire downward acceleration soley via his bollocks, upon a branch that was initally several foot below his feet... :wince:

Sounds more like a "sphinctoid fracture" to me ;-)

Worse than labour pains I reckon. ;-)

The only pain I associate with 'labour' is the pain in the arse that is the Labour government of Tony Bliar.

Hey I just had a weird thought... if the cocyx is a remnant of our primate past then would it be possible in the future for gene therapy to give humans a handy tail?

Doesn't that already happen occasionally, courtesy of a very rare birth defect?

When I upgrade to AmigaOS 4 I want the installer to set up Prefs/Locale with the phrase "ARE YOU LOCAL!?"...

Yay! I had the horrible, irritating cast off today!

Only to have the glory snatched away again after the X-Rays and have a fresh one put on for another four weeks  :roll:

Have to say, six weeks build up of red hot summer induced dead skin and sweat is a sight not to behold. Upon glancing at my freshly uncovered arm, I wondered if I had contracted some form of flesh eating bug.

Whilst waiting to be X-Rayed, I made the fundamental mistake of trying to wash my arm and hand to clean it up a bit. There was no end to the strata of dead skin that kept coming away. Even after seeing the doc, waiting to be replastered I was frantically trying to get rid of the remainder.

Very grim.

If it doesn't sort it self out fully in this next month, it might need a screw :-(
