Woke up injured

[BaddieThePirate]

😳 ?? Woke up with rib pain, on the side where I broke a rib a few years ago. Don’t know what I did to cause it. It healed up in a couple of days and I got back to my running, but the pain came back. Dug up the spuds at the allotment and it was still there, then I sneezed and it shot round to my sternum too. Nearly got better when another sneeze set it off again 🙄 Presume that it will take 6-8 weeks to heal fully, as that’s what it took last year. I think this might be a Sept thing if I want to grow spuds, or possibly I’m having an AS flare, masked by meds, because I’ve been feeling pretty rough and in pain. It seems AS attacks in bone break sites. It did that on my brother too. At least I don’t have to run in the rain today. Good excuse 😊

Oh no that doesn't sound good! What's AS? Hope it eases soon.Nice spuds though...

Ankylosing spondylitis or new name is Axial Spondyloarthritis. In my case hereditary, and playing havoc with my body and eyes. I’m so tired 🛌😴but the meds are nothing short of miraculous, so I’m very grateful.

This runs a bit in my family too. So sad for you. The condition is a right pain (pun intended) when it flares. Hope it calms down soon! 🤞🏼

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks Granspeed . Frustrating because it’s an invisible illness, so people just think you’re being a wuss coz ‘you look alright’.

[Granspeed Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

But you’re not! 🥰

[Fionamags Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you have good meds that help.

[RunaroundSue]

Oh no, that sounds painful.Take care of yourself

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

I am doing. And I’ve got spuds and courgettes for dinner. Courgettes are easier to harvest of course.

[RunaroundSue in reply to BaddieThePirate]

They are much easier. We are still cutting the broccolini. It has produced a steady supply for for weeks for us and our neighbours. It is much nicer than broccoli, purple sprouting or even calabrese.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

The squirrels destroyed my plants before they even got going, so I had zero broccoli this year.

Hi Baddie, sorry you've got problems. Sounds horrible. Really hope you heal soon and the pain leaves you. Those spuds look really good. Enjoy 🤸‍♀️ 😊

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to CressidaB]

Thank you. It’s improving.

[CressidaB Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Good 😊

[Poppdog Graduate]

Oh no hope it improves quickly. Lovely spuds by the way

[hamit Graduate]

Ahh Baddie that was caused when you borded that gold gallion.....ahhhh😁

[MaCherie112 Graduate]

Oh nooo! Everyone’s going down with injuries! That sounds so painful and it’s true it usually hits you the next day! Must feel so frustrating! Wishing you a speedy recovery! Do rest and take things very carefully and bounce back even stronger when ready! I’m going to get my SAD lamp out soon I think as the days become shorter, darker and I’m less active - may be an idea for you too!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to MaCherie112]

I’m trying not to do bouncing currently. But hope to be able to soon!

[MaCherie112 Graduate in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Haha! Totally understand a little more weeble than bounce myself! 🤣

[JonathanP Graduate]

Sorry to hear that Baddie. Ribs are funny things, aren't they? I have an annoying ache from my ribs on the left side which often comes on during walking (but never running). I think it's just coincidence that that is where I broke a number of ribs in a car accident 55 years ago, but who knows?! Hope it goes away soon.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to JonathanP]

I’ve got an ice pack on my sternum. Can’t wait to feel human again…

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate]

Oh Baddie, what a nuisance, I'm so sorry, enjoy your enforced rest and those lovely looking spuds. Hope you you're back out there soon🤞
