discussion As If She's Not Got Enough Problems

[Guest]

Hi all i think I've torn a ligament, I was taking the Dec's down at work, I stepped of the steps and heard a pop from my calf followed by excruciating pain, now I can barely walk and stairs are a no, no my step daughter is a physio and is coming over. But that's all my missus needs now, I feel like a right useless idiot now.

Accidents at work happen but it's not the end of the world Ken ( just rest up take the physio and if all pans out you will be fine in time

Take it steady Ken its just one of those things, the fact youve got a dodgy leg doesnt affect your support and concerns for your wife and im sure she wouldnt see this as anything but a daft accident , take care mate all the best tony

Trouble is we may have to go to Scotland in the next few days for the funeral and I can barely walk.

Apparently I've partially torn the gastrocnemius muscle, lucky as if I had torn it completely would be a hospital job, have to see a physio (lucky my daughter in law is one) so not as bad as first thought (supposed to rest it but my boss wouldn't like that)(what with wanting time off for a funeral too)

Do what your Physio says Ken. I tore ligaments in my knee early this year and didn't get to Physio until October. It has helped but there is permanent damage done to knee. I refused a sick note and went straight back to work on crutches within a week of it happening. So much more could have been done at the time but our pathetic doctors were not interested.
