I tripped up and fractured my elbow!

[Edie ray]

Oh dear

I was walking the dog and tripped up the curb and ended up in a heap outside the coop and butchers

I was just glad I was able to catch the dog and that I hadn’t broken my glasses!

Anyway a few hours later I thought my arm and elbow were hurting a bit so went off to minor injuries, the nurse was 99% sure it was a sprain but had to have X-ray to check and yes there was a minor fracture

I only need a sling but not allowed to drive for weeks or walk dog on my own, it’s also my arm that I write with

I suppose I should be glad it wasn’t any worse

Poor you, hope it heals quickly

Similar happened to me six weeks ago. I was at work and carried on for a couple of hours until my colleagues managed to convinced me to go to hospital. I was relieved that my elbow was fractured as it hurt so much and I thought other people would think I was being a drama queen otherwise. 😃
My elbow is healed now but still slightly stiff. Hope the pain stops for you soon and you manage to get some sleep tonight.

Oh no! I think I'd be more embarrassed at the thought people had seen me fall ☺️
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Xx

You know you've been Dibbing too long, when you see a thread title like that, and the first thing you do is check for a countdown!

Hopefully you'll feel better soon!

I broke my elbow a few years ago you don’t realise how much you rely on it til it’s out of action! Mine was slightly worst I was in a sling for around 6 weeks. It will test your patience but you’ll be fine in the long run with I found a new appreciation for that part of the body.

Get well soon

Oh no, hope you have a speedy recovery. X

Thank you everyone,

I slept ok, just finding the exercises that are advised really painful

It is really hard doing everything with the wrong hand!

Not looking forward to washing and straightening my hair

Anyway, just got to crack on with it and hope it heals soon

Thanks

Hope it heals ok, I fell on my left elbow probably about nine yrs ago now, I had it in a sling for six weeks , then physio, unfortunately my arm is still slightly curved ! I think I shouldn't have kept it in a sling as long as I did ! Be careful.
