you do that?

5. I slipped while on the second landing in stairwell.

It was my fault really, not paying attention.

2. Don't forget the acronym R.I.C.E.

Rest
ICE
Compression
Elevation

7. Great advice! I've been doing

a lot of that lately for various and sundry hurts.

I slammed my finger in a sliding door at work and immediately put it in frozen peas since I couldn't find the Ice-Gel in our freezer. And then, I wrapped it tightly in a bandaid cause it was bleeding profusely..so I thought afterwards that that was 1/2 of RICE.:)

8. I hate it when I hurt one of my fingers.........

you suffer for days, and it hurts every time you need to pick up something......old stupid saying: One thing about PAIN... it feels better when it quits hurting!!!

3. drink heavily

it's a great muscle relaxer.

4. Hope you filed a record of it with your company in case you have to

go on disability because of that.

6. Yes but it was just a sprain so I am not going to be disabled.

The x-rays show a soft tissue injury.
