Thanks for your words of advice everyone
I'll go to the hospital when it's next open Monday evening
Unless a miracle healing has happened
Please go to A & E today Rhian. Do not leave it any longer. There is a much better chance of effecting a good repair and outcome if you go soon after an accident. The earlier you get treatment the better.

If they have a homeopathic section Rhian.
Really it needs to be applied straightaway though.

It isn't really a substitute for getting it looked at though, just to be on the safe side and know what the damage is first.
Better to see if you can get help today, rather than get taken poorly during the night do you think?

Re: Is it broken?

Rhian, Don't tell Ruthio!

Seriously though, she did advise me to go and get my wrist Xrayed... and she was right because it was broken. I waited a week on painkillers before I went.

If there is any swelling try to keep the foot raised & rested and note any changes to appearance! Get it checked asap and don't arrange to visit any Discos over the weekend.

Re: Is it broken?

I've just been on the website
It is open 7 days a week now but they don't do x-rays on the weekends

I'll let you know how I get on
And thank you all for your kind advice
No one needs telling to get things checked out more than me

And I'd feel a bit of a fraud in comparison to the properly medically needy

That's what they rely on to keep the numbers down. Get over there and get your money's worth.
