Accidents like these are never nice and can be all the more painful with fibro. I had a fall a few months ago and ended up with a very big bruise!!

Wishing you well and hope you get better soon. πŸ’œ

ouch, frozen peas on leg, and frozen beans, chips, and sweet corn on bruise?

perhaps your gp may prescribe some acute pain meds,

although it may be a good idea to get full bloods done in case low on something

hope recover soon, know my unexpected gravity experiment hurt very much so asked for a stronger pain med, for 3 days, ended up with 100!!!

gentle hugs

oh no we have enough battles with fibro,

would the plastic t piece thing with copper on help you, its called the same as that puppet cartoon mermaid character that could not speak. cannot remember the name. (it was the era of puppet captain scarlett.) my gp has been trying to get me to have one for years.

fmlife in reply to Elizahl

that could be it,

declined as thought something grating inside may make my fibro worse, am saddened to hear it started your fibro journey.

yes i lost the power in my hands and legs collapsed and was admittedbto hospital had every test done all clear so they then realised it was the coil gynae refused to rrmove it still i took it out myself and could walk the next day. I never regained full strength though and ththey diagnosed me with fibro about 18 months later said it was from the trauma my body went through.

oh Elizahl, not good at all. Although could happen to any one of us but am sorry for your mishap 😞I would imagine by the sound of it that you will more than likely be subjected to much bruising and soreness for a few days yet😞hope you recover sooner rather than later ❀️

Hi

I do hope you feel better soon. Have your burns blistered? Do you need to see Dr with them. I did this a few years ago and had great big blisters which needed dressing at hospital!! I think I must fall for the fun of it!! I also zone out so much, don't know its happening!! This is how I spilled my hot coffee!! I've fallen off the toilet!! I can zine out when talking to someone!! Luckily ive got very good support from family, friends & of course people off here too.

Please take care

Lots of love Lynne xxxx πŸ«‚β€οΈ
