Face planked... GP?

Really feeling very stupid. I was standing up a grass verge last night (sober) and didn't realise that one side was a vertical drop - the side we'd walked up was sloped. I stood off it face planked onto concrete.

Felt fine but now feel like I have the worst case of sinusitis ever. Have got a dentist appointment for tomorrow to get teeth cheeked out (they went into my lips). Basically, theres a small scrape on my nose and no bruising, but the pain is horrific.

Is it knobful to make a GP appointment as well?

(Also, if anyone has suggestions that will alleviate the pain please hit me with them).

Hope it's nothing too serious!

Hope you’re ok.

Hope you're alright! Very glad you're being checked over.

Mia184 · 01/01/2018 18:30

I hope it's not serious.

Yeah a friend of mine didn't go straight away turns out he had been walking around with one major and two minor fractures of the neck.
It will be painful for a few days/ week. I did mine twice and last time it was x-rayed. Considered fractured cheek bone luckily not just nose and arms.

Take some arnica tomorrow. I recommend some sweets, a magazine and a film for tomorrow. Hope you feel better soon.

Ouch! Hope you're feeling better soon.

I've broken my nose twice and had to have an operation to fix a deviated septum because of it. At no time have I had black eyes from either the injuries or operation; it's a bit of a myth that you automatically have them and I'm someone who bruises at anything. And, yes, I've had x-rays.

Seconding arnica and suggesting alternating ibuprofen and paracetamol every two hours, ie four hours between doses of the same drug.

Hope you're not too sore today and A& E sorted you out

What was the verdict at the hospital?

Ellendegeneres · 03/01/2018 09:17

What did they say?

frieda909 · 03/01/2018 09:33

Oh gosh, they’ve kept you there for two nights?! What happened?

ButDoYouAvocado · 03/01/2018 09:59

A couple of fractures and some very low blood pressure. All fine and should heal soon!

That would explain the pain then! Take it easy
