I was leaving a restaurant with some friends and I tripped over an unpainted speed bump.

SPLAT!

Nothing broke But I sure do hurt.

I'd cuss if I thought it would help.

The knees are sooooo swollen. Or feel that way.

I'd write more but Spunky has decided I need his love.

[phesina]

Oh, I'm sorry! That sounds like it smarts.

Be all better from this soon! Meanwhile, you are in good paws with Dr. Spunky.

[Karen]

Put your feet up the legs are at least level, and a heating pad or ice, whichever your preference - may help them feel a bit better.

[Lilith Cherry]

Ouchh! I do hope you feel much less sore very quickly!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I've done this before too. I sure hope you feel better soon. Please take care.

[sana]

Sorry to hear about that accident.. Hope you get well soon! Prayers for you I hope little Mr.Spunky comforted you a lot He must have taken a great care of you, right

[moosmom]

I feel your pain!! I find I "trip" more, the older I get. Of course, having osteoarthritis in both knees doesn't help either.

Feel better, girl!!!

Ouch!!
I tripped twice in one night a couple weeks ago. Never went completely down but I am feeling the pains just from that too. So I can imagine how you are feeling.
I hope you feel better soon. I'm going to the chiropractor this week earlier than I should because of my "trips".

[Roxyluvsme13]

Tripping is never fun... I'm that person that trips over everything that can constantly be tripped over (including my own feet).

I hope you heal nicely without too many pains or bruises!

[mrspunkysmom]

I'll pop by the chiro tomorrow just to check on things. I was walking today. The right knee didn't hurt too bad but it was really swollen.

Going to put my legs up now to reduce swelling.

[Laura's Babies]

OWIEEEEEEE! I have been so afraid I will fall with all the dizziness and balance problems I been having.... Hope you heal fast!

So does anyone know how to make a nutmeg infusion as an anti-inflammatory?

I am seriously allergic to NSAIDS, anything remotely related to aspirin and ibuprofen.

I know about making a tea from nutmeg and ginger but I don't want to make it too strong. I have some ground nutmeg and ginger. I also have whole nutmeg. It's been around a while but still smells nice.

I've been reading online but I would like to get y'all's opinion.

[mrspunkysmom]

I figured someone here knew something about natural medicine. Or knows someone who does.

No Suggestions?

Put your feet up and use a bag of frozen veggies (peas work best). Otherwise, get a rub like Biofreeze (cold) to put on it.

I sure wish i did know. I'd be sure and share it. I'm having tons of trouble with my right arm and shoulder now. Seems my arthritis is there now. I can hardly lift my right arm above chest level now.

One thing I keep reading about for inflamation is omega3 found in fish oils. I am taking it daily but so far it doesn't make any difference that I can tell. It's supposed to help cholesterol too.
