Have been nursing a bad arm for nearly 2 months now thanks to a totally non running injury...skipped and fell hard getting out of the bloody shower!! So painful to move as I tend to be a bit of a “swinger”🤣🤣 just can’t get out there...was so peed off today beautiful blue sky..just wanted to be out there!! Surely can’t be much longer before can move it comfortably 😢😢

Have you been to the doc?

Only when it first happened all they were concerned with was if it was broken! Just said torn muscle, rest and paracetamol but 7 weeks later still so painful 😖

7 weeks sounds quite a long time... I think it might be worth going back to the docs and double checking the diagnosis/prognosis...

Yeah it feels like quite a long time too! 😩 if no better this time next week will have to get it checked out for sure!

Heck, that doesn’t sound so good. nothing worse than being on the IC with a non-running injury :(

I think you should go back to the doc if you can, that doesn’t sound right to me...

Really hoping you recover soon!

Thanks..am trying sports massages too..no pain no gain and that really hurt! 🤣 will see how next one goes then get appointment if no better, just about fed up with it!

in reply toPolly2810

I haven't tried a sports massage yet but I have had quite a few visits to a physio now, the worst of which took me a good day to get over lol! I really do hope you get sorted soon. Once it is though, you'll easily get back to where you were. I've had to do that, I'm not quite back to where I was, but I'll be there soon, I can see that.

Oh no that’s rotten luck. But you have the summer runs to look forward to. 💐💐💐

No! 😕😕😕 I’d go back to the doctor if I were you.
