try getting some voltarol gel that you can rub into your arm.

Ding Dong - she's found out it's fractured, so I don't think she really wants to rub anything into it, or even touch it!

DingDongMummyLinOnHigh · 23/12/2007 16:09

no dont think she will !!!! i hope she soon recovers ,what a blow just when there is so much to do. however did she do that ? its a good job i didnt tell her the excercises too

ouch you poor person. I find it hard to believe that a fracture clinic would be closed over Christmas - supposing someone broke their leg?? Try to rest it as much as you can and don't be proud about asking for help.

I would stop off alcohol or at least limit it to maybe one drink whilst you're taking the painkillers.
