[CvQ]

is this normal?i forgot to mention it yesterday

[psychomum5]

noooooooooo....means either swelling or compression of a nerve somewhere.

needs to be checked....sorry.

[CvQ]

what

fuck.is that why i cant grip??????????????

[psychomum5]

ah, yes.....quite possibly!

how long have you had pins and needles for, and when is your next checkup with the fracture clinic???

did you get a cast care leaflet with your broken wrist, as that should have a number for you to ring first before traipsing down.

this is what I had with megs

[lilymolly]

Yes def swelling prob pressing on a nerve.

Not the end of the world though CvQ.
May be get it checked out at the fracture clinic next week ?

Did you have a operation, pins plates etc?

[CvQ]

its been on and off for a week but thought it was just my arm settling down??
i was there yesterdayand not due to see them again until next week.
fucking bollocking crap!

fuck i wont have to be operated on will i...am losing my smile here!!

[CvQ]

frature clinic is closed.should i go to a&e psycho????

[misspiggy]

CvQ - have a look here. Scroll down to Plaster cast problems, bullet point 2....

If the pins and needles are quite bad it may be worth a trip to A and E.

[psychomum5]

no, you wonlt be operated on.

tis just that they have set the cast slightly worng is all.

did they change it yesterday????

[psychomum5]

ignore all typos........am getting sleepy

[MatNanPlus]

If it is constant ormore if you try tomovefingers/thumb then really do thinkyou need to go to A&E CvQ sorry

they should have asked yesterday in clinic TBH

[psychomum5]

oh, and yes, A&E I'm afraid.

[CvQ]

yes its new but ive had the pins and needles for about a week??

gahhhhhhhhhh
am going for a fag!

[psychomum5]

ooh....megs pins and needles were from them thinking it was just her wrist broken, when in fact it was her thumb (and badly at that), and they did not cast her thumb properly.

maybe they are missing a small other break???

[MatNanPlus]

wonder if it is that the break isn't as well placed as it could be?

Do think you should ring, should be reasonably quiet there at this time of evening

[CvQ]

ok just spoke to mumshes calling a taxi and were going to head down

thanks everyone!

[psychomum5]

good luck, and text me later with results.

[Bowddee]

Poor you. Glad you got it sorted though.

[lilymolly]

[CvQ]

it never rains does itbut hopefully it will start to feel easier now.i just need to let them know if the tingling carries on.

[MatNanPlus]

Glad you have got it seen to and i hope the replaster wasn't too painful.

[CvQ]

oh and was told that smoking will slow down the healing process.i said only if i smoke with my left hand.they didnt think that was funny

[CvQ]

[ConstanceWearing]

Good to see you can keep your sense of humour despite the crap, CVQ
