I Hurt Myself Again

A week before leavening for my final ski holiday of 2011 season in Mach I hurt my ankle while running in the park. Although I skied but less then I would have liked.

Today a week before leaving on my final ski holiday of 2012 I pulled a muscle in my neck while vacuuming my apartment.

Hope it goes away quickly!

As I have no one to feel sorry for me I am hoping some of you will :)

Hah !!!!!!
Vacuuming - a likely story !!!

And sympathy expected from those of us who have packed the kit away until next season ?????

293 sleeps to go for me and you want symapthy :evil:

OK - go on then - really hope it goes away. :thumbup:

I have a history of a dodgy neck and use ibuprofen gel to rub it and find a wheatie very helpful especially at night.

I always thought that ibuprofen on the neck was a no no.

Wheatie? Is that like whisky?

Is it :shock:
Thought it just shouldn't be used on broken skin.

Hmmmm .......
[pause while on internet search]
No advisories about not using on neck on Boots website. Just about damaged skin etc.

Hi FallingDown,
I am feeling sorry for you! I missed my first ski holiday for about 30 years because of breaking my shoulder on the dry ski slope 2 weeks before the holiday started :cry:

So - I know exactly how awful it feels, and if there was one of those head patting smilies I'd put one up for you.

AND - I really hurt my arm and neck hoovering one of the holiday cottages last summer. I went to see my osteopath and he said it was because there's some sort of concentrated nerve centre in your neck, which is why the assassin type people chop each other there when they're trying to kill each other on telly, and I'd hurt it by overstretching myself with the vacuum cleaner (trying to reach right under a double bed).

The osteopath fixed me up as best he could (after the hoovering accident I mean) and advised me to put an ice gel pack on it for 20 minutes each time, around 4 times per day, and keep doing it for several days. And, luckily my neck (and arm) got better.

So - best of luck with this, whichever method you decide to try, and I really hope it's better in time for your ski holiday :D

Sooooo, a damaged ankle. And a pulled neck muscle. nd, no doubt other unmentioned attrocities

And thanks for the sympathy that eventually comes an I sympathies with you too that you have to wait so long for your next trip.

You can always organize a J2 trip to South America OldAndy, been looking at ski trips to Argentina today, but I think I need to start selling my body to afford to go. Anyone want a body; cheap?

Hi Aliy, have I been spelling your name wrong.

Thanks for the sympathy, broken shoulder sounds painful1 I will try the ice pack thing.

Calling myself Falling Down on a ski forum was an attempt at humour, bit silly though as I doubt anyone else fins the name funny?
