Hi

A &E unless you have X-ray eyes I would have it looked ASAP.

You could have a small bone fracture?

Do you know what is causing the high heart rate? Is it low oxygen levels?

Could be a fracture, you need to get an X-ray asap. I fractured my wrist many years ago and went to work, on my bike the next day - I could still operate the sewing machine but I couldn't work a pair of scissors, or lift and drink from a cup of tea.

I fell this afternoon, landed on my left hip & rolled onto my bum. The opposite side to where the facet joints are causing sciatica pain. I don't want to do anything; I am just laid on top of the bed with a blanket over me. May go to A & E tommorow. See how I am. We should confer.x

Both of you need to go without delay. Margaret you are a very caring lady, and what would b e your first advice to someone else?

Hope you and squady can get some sleep tonight. Hope we hear from you both tomorrow.

I agree with Jennifer. You would be the first to advise anyone else to get themselves off to A & E. You could also call the doctor out or ring 111 and let them do a telephone assessment prior to sending out the paramedics. Take care my love.

Hello scorpiolass . That's worrying. Are you in any pain? I hope not and that you can rest and get over it.

Please let us know how you are. xx 🌷

Hello squady . That sounds so painful. Maybe just to be safe have an X-Ray to make sure nothing is broken. Take good care.

Hate to have to say , sounds like you have a ''colles fracture ' which is very very common when we oldies fall over. Simple to sort ,. But you do need to get your wrist checked out just incase .. Let us know how you get on in A&E.
