Had a fall

I have an unstable knee and ankle due to RA. Today my knee gave way I went over on my ankle as I was coming down some steps. I tried to grab the handrail but somehow I managed to get my hand caught and have broken two fingers. So painful, I am really feeling sorry for myself.

Know just how you feel -inca. Like you I had a "silly accident" broke my arm & banged my head - hard!

My broken arm is now out of plaster & is so awkward...I flicked my coat collar with the arm yesterday ....OUCH!I

I hope fingers heal quicker than arms, but I guess with RA any broken bone is a lottery as to how quickly it heals.

I think you are completely justified in feeling sorry for yourself! If your meds allow pour yourself a nice glass of wine & think, of all the horrid things you can get out of of doing!

Take care

AC

It's a worry, I think the RA is difficult enough to cope with, without additional injuries. I hope you recover well and feel better soon

Wow - There is just so much going around, huh? Hope you feel better soon popsmith

How horrid and unfair it feels. But accidents do happen to everyone it's just much harder for us

Best wishes for a good recovery.
