Crutches needed asap

[pottedplant 10]

What about an Ambulance, thats what they are for for people who cannot walk.

 

What ridiculous advice.

 

Someone could be having a heart attack or a stroke and in need of that ambulance. This type of "just get an ambulance" attitude really makes my blood boil.

Haven't been,last year I strained the same ligament,went to a&e for 2 hours was given some nurofen and told to go to my docs in 2 weeks after the swelling goes down. No point in wasting their time & mine when they'll only tell me the same now. This time though I can't walk at all so could do with some crutches,I'm 6foot 5 though so need some tall ones!

Cheers

Ps it's northern

I think you may have missed the point, slightly.

Was there sarcasm intended then in he post I replied to suggesting that someone take an ambulance for a very minor injury? I must have missed it.

I took it as sarcasm, but I could have been wrong, it happens.

No they aren't.

To the OP - unless you have been properly assessed by someone medically trained it's not safe for you to use crutches.

Despite the fact you think it's a reoccurance of the origonal injury it could be something more serious such as a thrombosis which is more common than you may think and can be life threatening.

Seek medical attention asap to be on the safe side.

I am right.

Ambulances aren't a taxi service.

They are emergency response vehicles for people suffering life threatening illnesses or injuries.
