I had a bad fall yesterday due to the path up my road being so bumpy and uneven.
I ended up in A @ E for 4 hours, I`ve broken both bones in my wrist and have a lovely black eye!
Just a warning to you all, please be careful on bumpy paths, it happens so quick, one minute you`re standing then bang you`re down.
Well that`s me out of action for six weeks, at least I`ll get a rest and waited on hand and foot by hubby!
Take care everyone especially if it`s icy!

feeling a bit saddened, i don't know how it happened and im scared its gonna happen again.
i could understand if id had a drink but I've not touched a drop for a week.
i feel like my walking on the whole is improved in the evening but i came into my lounge towards the sofa and it was as though my legs just wrapped around each other, i tried to correct it and ended up 3 feet away on the floor. i banged my head and shoulder on the radiator but i was fine. my 8 year old wasn't though, he was sitting on the floor right next to where i landed and he was so scared by it.
i have to navigate around crawling babies and hectic toddlers and im scared im might fall on one of them now.
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing ok. Well I fell in the kitchen last night, always seems to be the kitchen. I was making my sons dinner, he does help fetch things for me so I don't have to keep moving about. Any hoo got distracted had my walking stick in one hand and holding onto worktop with the other and down I went, at least I had a soft landing lol. All those times of saying does my bum look big in this, well look who is laughing now.
On the down side my poor son was really good and had to try to help me up, strength in arms not that great for picking myself up, but he is only nine I hate him seeing me this way I should be looking after him not the other way round.
Thanks for listening

Just sounding off really, went to feed the ducks yesterday with my mum and dad and our dogs, and I somehow managed to fall, have a huge bruise on my lower arm, and my shoulder and arm in general really hurts. Not sure if this is anything to do with whats wrong with me, this is the second time I have fell outside in the last year, first time I needed stitches in my knee. I feel so silly, my mum and dad are pushing 70 and they managed to walk on the slippy muddy surface without falling, when couldn't I? To add insult to injury and pride, I went to their house after and had a cup of tea, which I promptly dropped on the floor, it was the full cup and it just missed scalding my wee doggie! what is going on with me, I wouldn't mind but I also ensure I hold cups in my left hand now as I have a trapped ulnar nerve on the right arm, so now it seems I can't be trusted with drinks in any hand, i'm starting to get paranoid.
Might have to take myself to the walk in centre as my arm is getting really sore where I fell on it and I can't lift it very far without it hurting really bad, OH thinks I should go anyway, as that way this fall will be documented on my records too.
Starting to get cross at my clumsiness
Hi Everyone!
I've just been reading the thread about chest pain and I think I get a kind of MS Hug mixed with stress/anxiety as I get a tightness in the middle of my chest and it seems to go right through to the back. Also it makes the sides of my back ache as well and I don't feel I can keep myself up. My neck also goes very tight which effects my throat and makes me feel sickly.
I also tend to puff up at the same time. Everything seems to be too tight or uncomfortable, especially around the torso and stomach area. Also my thighs seem to swell up. I don't feel bloated, more like a fluidy feeling. The MS Nurse reckons this isn't a MS Symptom but after reading about the hug I'm not so sure.
It's very annoying and very uncomfortable as I can't find clothes that are comfy when I'm like this.
Does anyone else get this?
