For the scab, put Polysporn on it. It'll soften it a little bit & it hurts less, if at all.

I didn't have access to any ice. I was stuck in the basement too long limping & crying. I still have my BIG ugly burse, but its not nearly as sore anymore. It only hurts if I poke at it heheh.

I've had knee & hip issues since I was 14ish. I use to scream & cry for days. Many times if not most times I couldn't use my legs. Only once they went totaly limp & I had no motor skills in them at all, but I felt pain. Stupid dog thought I was playing on the floor & he ended up dragging me all around the house until my folks returned home to get him off of me, hehehe

Now my legs only get sore from time to time, but not nearly as bad as before, its more annoying & causes me to limp a bit. My balance blows due to my knees not being able to hold much weight. Its kinda like balancing 2 tennis balls ontop of each other. So I have to stand with my knees locked.

ohwell nothing like before

If it makes either of you feel better, my good friend, Carol, emailed me that she fell down 27 stairs over the weekend, had a concussion, lots of blood, an ambulance, everything. She and her friend were touring some cathedral in New York City. OUCH! I hope you all will be healed soon!

OMG your poor friend
I hope she'll be ok. Was there any perm. damage??

Yikes ... sorry about yours and Donna's accidents! I worry with every step I take, as I broke my foot in two places and had to have surgery a few years ago. My knees and ankles are extremely "weak and wobbly" as well. I had old injuries from my cheerleading days (many moons ago ... haha) that still cause me trouble!

STAY WELL and BE CAREFUL!!!

Ever since I fell down the stairs, I'm in constant pain in my lower lumbar from my sciatica. I've tried 1200 mgs of Motrin, Neproxin Sodium (stopped taking that cuz it made me puff out like a blimp). Nothing helps. It's like a tooth ache.

Logan,

Is your friend okay??? Her fall makes mine look like I tripped!!

King2005,

I've been putting neosporin on the scabs. The worse one is on my shin. I'm gonna have a wicked scar there.

Moosmom: Have you tried the Polysporn Painless? It really helps. A lady at my old old old job, sliced her hand open with a box cutter (I saw her meat & it was quite GROSS, she refused to go to the hospital). So I cleaned it & took a tube of Polysporn Painless & applied that to her wound. The lady said she felt no pain for 20hrs at a time. Every morning at work I had to gently remove the bandage, clean the wound & apply more Polysporn Painless & she said it took about 30 mins to kick in & it was af if she didn't have a wound at all.

Might be worth a shot.

King2005,

Really?? I have to pick up some Chlortrimeton for Mollie Rose at CVS tomorrow so I'll give Polysporin a try. Thanks for the tip!
