Thanks, trying to get some physio through doctor, everything is so slow, still can't move neck as far as it should go a few weeks on, bf is frustrated!!
I have tried doctor eeyores advice on painkillers and am finding Guinness better than the cheaper stuff from the chemists, like paracetamol and ibuprofen though I'm not sure I'll get away with it at work
Megamum hope you're recovering ok, better keep of the dance floor a bit

Megamum, If your knee is a bit twingy at the end of the day, when you sit down, make sure you put your leg up & put ice on your knee. A pack of frozen peas is good, as it moulds round the knee. I found ice packs invaluable for my knee injury a year or so ago & I still put ice on if I've overdone things.
Hope it recovers soon

seems Ive arrived a little late to this thread but to confirm the seriousness of this injurie, we the reader must know to exactley which record/ dance track did you first notice the pain and indeed had you noticed any sighs of pain on your daughters face before this accident occured?

shorty, It was the rather fast line dancing number that has the 5,6,7,8, bit in it, by Steps. My daughter was encouraging me at the time - they learn the steps at school country dancing class - she is still too young to be embarassed by me and I still occupy the top echalon (sp?) with her (at least for a little bit longer  ). Oh, and NO! I'm NOT posting the video footage that DH took on his mobile phone!
Update: I tried the exercise machine tonight - I took it easy, but got no twinges - has to be good news

1) I think you ought to - purely clinical reasons, of course.
2) Pleased to hear it

Did a good one a month ago:
Was hopping over a low wall from a slight incline in a communal garden to the street, launched in usual manner (This is a short cut I take almost daily.) right foot lands on wall but slips due to earlier rain and old shoes with less tread than before glides across wall although due to inate balance I remain upright and break the fall with my left shin resulting in a 5cm split over the bone and a bizarre bursting of the skin a little to the left of impact from which quite a lot of blod decides to pour. bug. I limp back to my doctor friend who looks upon the wound gravely and says "You've done that in the worst possible place for healing quickly" double bug as I realise it is in exactly the place my power band on my boots does up! Still healing nicely now, just a case of not picking the oh-so-tempting scabs!
Should be healed in time for the season (fingers crossed.)

Kaiser, Don't pick it. I did much the same thing many years ago after ...eh, skiing into a tree 
It was a b*gg*r to heal, took ages, wasn't till they threatened a skin graft that it finally healed up. NObody is taking a cheese slice to my butt!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ouch! I was a little worried about that as they had a job stitching it up due to the skin being so thin and tearing. It is on the mend though and at least it's not on a joint so no inadvertant opening of the wound.
For some reason everyone is teling me to "take care" whenever I leave them or end a phone call (I fell over drunk the day after the leg incident and opened my eyebrow rather well - didn't have the guts to show myself in hospital again though so no stitches and a big scar! - apparently I look "hard" now!) Iam actually taking notice of this "care" instruction though and am terrified of doing anything remotely risky before I get the chance to let rip on the slopes!
I must be getting old!

Kaiser, Getting old! good grief no, it's just pent up enegy while you wait for the snow. Take care

You know it makes sense.

Kaiser, I don't know how the medics here will feel about this suggestion, but when I was a teenager my face (mainly nose) had an argument with the road due to a bike accident (I have posted the full story elsewhere). My school nurse at the time advised my mum to ensure that kept the scabs moist with vaseline. This stopped a lot of the itching and resulted in the scab just falling off one day leaving no scarring whatsoever. It might be worth trying.

Interesting idea... (Strokes chin thoughtfully.) But I shall accept the facial disfiguration as the just rewards for too much happy-sauce and not enough looking where I was going, anyway I think I should skip putting vaseline down my trousers
