[Islander]

need advice...after my fall i was a bit sore, the day after i was a bit sorer and today im a lot sorer, cant sneeze, cough, laugh, breath, walk, drive etc without pain in my back/ribs area...i can talk fine and its not like a sharp pain or sore in my lungs.i would bet money nothings broken or fractured. but its just so sore!advice anyone?parents are urging me to nip down to the hosptal to get checked over but i think it might be a bit OTT...advice ASAP please!

Emergency rooms must be the same everywhere, it's amazing how much faith they put in paracetamol!

They told my brother in law to take paracetemol and ibruprofen when he broke his collar bone, dislocated his shoulder and mashed up his hand  hope you feel better soon

I totally agree flower fairy
My husband whacked his head, had stitches, was told to rest as he had concussion and take some......paracetamol
Several months later he split open his thumb on a circular saw, more stitches, tetanus jab, in severe pain, take some.....paracetamol
To be fair I think it's all they are allowed to give  

Hope you are feeling a bit better Mrs T, it takes a while for the bruising to subside

lol... the nurse was great and totally understood me, listened to me...fantastic... the famous Dr Lala (can you guess why everyone knows him?)wasn't as great... oh well... note to self: don't fall over!lol! and they didn't actually GIVE me any tablets...just told me to take them.
