[pie_man]

thanks for the tip I'll try it!

[willow]

how are the ribs? did you try the arnica?

[pie_man]

haven't been able to get out - but doc says ice pack and then heat treat it. So I've been doing that. I might have to quit my beloved football because too much violence on (and off) the pitch.

I think it is bruising and not broken - because doc said the pain would be a lot greater - so i am hoping a few weeks i'll be back - in the mean time i can play lots of pacman

Thanks anyway Willow - at least there are some nice caring people out there!

I found this link about arnica: http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/a/arnic058.html

Am I right in thinking I can take this for my calf injury which won't heal properly?

hey pie_man did u get that injury playing football?
if u did all u need is the magic sponge, all the physios use on the pitch when a player gets injured. haha. ohh mind u its a spray now, isnt it???

[willow]
