After playing football over a week ago i have had a dicomfort in my ulna bone. (the forarm about 2 inches form the elbow) its happened a few times from playing in goal, it gets inflamed and a big bump appeares but normaly goes after a few days, this time the bump is still there and any pressure i put on it caused a lot of pain in the arm, i can move my arm fine with no problems its only when contact is made with it, anyone had any similar injuries? worth getting an x-ray? im sure if it was broken the pain would be constant, just getting a bit concerned that the pain still occurs.

Aids

I suggest the walk-in centre.

Erm... go and see a doctor?

Things like that are best just ignored until they go away.

NHS direct?

the only reason i ask is i can be arsed to sit in a waiitng room only for them to tell me something like "yes its fractured (or whatever) but theres nothing we can do, just rest it" coz i doubt they would put a cast on it or anything like that

Yeha, hoping it just disappears is probably a better option.

if you have a fractured arm they will put a plaster on it you daft polish cunt

Sounds like tennis elbow.

As luci suggests call NHS direct, they will tell you straight whether its worth waiting or not.

I fractured my wrist in three places once it didnt hurt much at all i went days without going to the hospital

more like wankers cramp

not strictly true, i broke a bone on my foot once, they put a bandage on it, gave me some crutches and sent me on my way

nah, i use the other hand for that

A cast is only there to set the bone in position. If you don't need/can't to that with plaster then won't bother.

An arm they will.

Oh and see a doctor. That's what NHS direct will probably tell you too.

Obviously doesn't last too long then!!  I thought it was 99 change hands!

im not going into details but i have a set way of doing it

As others have said, call NHS direct. I ignored their advice a couple of weeks ago, got more heart pains, and a quick trip to a&e ended up being 3 days in there on a drip.

Sure a trip to the docs would sort it though.

Lightweight  :)

sounds like wannkers elbow to me. I have suffered from it yours a few years myslef.

Just had to tell a story after this jolted a memory. Some young lad, Pro Golfer, called Fred "Willie" Lesteros, used to be a "Massage" therapist in Sweden and his "treatment" room was out the back of some sports place. He explained he was thrown way out back because the noise his patients made form his treatment scared off other clients.

One day a bloke i know was saying he's got tennis elbow and has a few problems playing Golf. Fred explains he knows a thing or 2, can probably solve the problem, but he'll likely scream with pain at the treatment.

Anyway, the bloke says go for it. Fred sits him down, pulls his arm about and gets it into some horrible positions using quite a bit of force. He then punches him fucking hard, in a quite a few places around his arm, all the time repositioning the arm. After a few minutes the bloke's eyes are watering like fuck, and he's making significant noise and clearly in agony. Regardless, 5 minutes later the bloke is doing press-ups without any pain, and playing golf pain free the same day. Crazy.

Talking of which, I've never known whether to believe him but one of my mates....

Found some lumps in his "ball sack", thought it was testicular cancer so went to the doctor. The doctor examined him then told him he had to cut down on the masturbation - he'd had a vasectomy not long before and the doctor said it was just a build up of semen due to him wanking too much.

Perhaps it's an expired MOT ?

soapy tit wank, thats all sorted, people got the wrong end of the stick with that, i didint know the reprucussions of an expired mot, which is why i asked, when i was informed what they were then i booked it in, its not like i knew what they were and was still being ignorant and not doing something about it

He cant go to hospital they will deport him!

Explains a bump on the Ulnar, probably has nothing to do with the condition under discussion. 

Whacking it is apparently not now accepted practice.

Never knew that there was such a thing.

The inner and posterior surface of the cuneiform bone can be felt immediately below the head of the ulna. Some difficulty may be experienced in distinguishing one from the other; if, however, the hand is abducted and adducted the cuneiform bone can be felt to move while the ulna remains stationary. On the palmar surface of the wrist, immediately below the ulna, can be felt the distinct bony prominence formed by the pisiform bone. The flexor carpi ulnaris inserts into it.

nice one crozzer, sounds about right...

now....where did i put that bible.
