When to go hospital

[Rich2484]

This morn I done something to my neck. It hurts unlike anything I have EVER felt, been in bed all afternoon unable to move due to extreme pain, diazepam hasn't touched it.

 

Can just lay on my back, and even then I just get very sharp very intense pain.

 

Just felt like I caught it. Then stupidly I went out on lifeboat exercise....

 

Got a hot water bottle on it now and I'm about to drown myself in some more pills.

 

I'm not one that goes to the docs much as I just tend to get on with it.

 

Think I need to go hospital....

Maybe you should then, better safe than sorry. Get some of the crew to pop over with the spine board.

I went to hospital the other month.....

 

I was working on a syc dismantle, felled stem, started ringing it up, hit metal! was 95% through, so stook metal wedge in and started hitting with hammer to split the ring......

 

Bit of the hammer chipped off and flew into my ear lobe btw ear lobes bleed like no ones business! but dont have much feeling...

 

anyhow, got there at 8pm, got seen at 12pm, x ray shows piece of metal 5mm long 2mm wide, 2 hospital staff looked at my ear, i said just inject it, cut it and pick it out....

 

eventually they did.... but after digging around for ages said no we cant find it, you'll have to live with it in your ear

 

i dont go to hospitals often try not to, so i've still got the metal in my ear which i can feel..... how hard can it be to find in something as small as an ear lobe?

 

waste of time, hope you have a better experiance than me rich

Good idea. If I need it in the morn I will.

Could be wrong.... But shouldn't you have something cold on it!?

Might be better icing it, swelling/inflammation in the muscles is worsened with heat - more blood flow causes more swelling

Cold or hot. Can switch between the two. Both are suppose to help.

Not good mate I put of going to the doctors for months..... I new what it was but didn't go till I couldn't move for the pain,was just a hernia. Get well soon:thumbup:

Freeze it and get down ae bright and early would be my advice if your taking diazepam be careful with codeine as taken together they can treble the strength.
