I feel rough!

Just a moan as I'm feeling rough and sorry for myself.

I have:

a) chest infection
b) torn ligament in my finger
c) compressed discs in my back
d) concussion
e) whiplash
f) tennis elbow
g) bursitis in my hip

which when I look at it like that is quite a lot really. Everything hurts and I can't get comfortable. I'm supposed to keep moving to stop my back stiffening, but all I really want to do is curl up in bed!

Ow ow ow! That all sounds very uncomfortable. Have you been in an accident or are these all separate things?

Have you tried the 'lots of hot water bottles' method? Sometimes having something hot pressed against the sore part helps lots, especially when trying to get comfortable in bed.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

I do feel a bit better today as the chest infection is easing so I can move about a bit more. c, d & e are connected the others are all individual injuries accumulated over the last few months.

It's a sign of ageing too I think - I'm not healing as quickly as I used to.

Yes, I'm finding more bits of me that don't want to work like they used to as time goes on as well :)
