| 307818 | 2004-12-28 04:43:00 | Earlier in the day, I decided to give my children and another family rides on the back of a trail bike, in Arrowtown. Through the trees, a couple of river crossings, water everywhere - loads of fun. At one point I had to grab the handlebars very firmly to prevent the bike falling on its side. POPwent my shoulder and I knew this was significant because there was an iota of pain. Oh, the embarassment - you couldn't even have bragging rights about some magnificent Crusty Demon manoevre that somehow went wrong... :o |

| 307819 | 2004-12-28 07:56:00 | Not that it makes any difference to me,Only time i go to the doctor is when im carried in.......[/QUOTE] Those used to be my sentiments too. If I was sick or injured I worked on the theory ,"Ignore it and it will go away" But believe me the older you get the more essential it becomes to visit a doctor. In my case I was at the doctors with eye problems and he arranged surgery for me. As I was leaving he suggested taking my blood pressure. I wasn't particularly interested but agreed. My blood pressyre was 210 over 95. Doctor nearly had a fit. I wasn't very worried as I felt OK. He told me I couold have a heart attack or a stroke at any time and it could be fatal. OOPS! A course of pills fixed it and blood is now a healthy 130 over 45. The point is. Visit a doctor regularly even if you are not sick. It could save a lot of problems. Jack :thumbs: |

What would you say is regular,once a month or what?We do like to be punctilious about these things. ;) Just my opinion. If you're fit and under 40 once a year. If you're over seventy about every three months. Ask your doctor. They are not all morons. :D Jack |

| 307824 | 2004-12-29 04:50:00 | Oh dear Winston. That sounds painful. Have you considered that you may (will) need ACC for this complaint in the future however, and without a real medical history (diagnosis) that could be tricky - even for a lawyer. I doubt that ACC would take the temporary internet file copies as proof of claim somehow. |

| 307825 | 2004-12-29 08:06:00 | Do you mean to say GF, that ACC haven't head of Google? :illogical A quick update . After musing Jack's comments, I went to the doctor today . He confirmed the diagnosis and conservative treatment ie . antiinflammatories and a bit of physio . Basically grin and bear it . However GF makes a very good point . I might need part of the tendon removed eventually (keyhole surgery) and ACC won't be interested if there is no record of the accident . So that is another angle and one which I hadn't considered . :cool: |

| 307827 | 2004-12-29 08:37:00 | The original accident should be logged in an "Accident Record Book", if you do it in company time, if not, then if it is on somebody elses property you need to speak to the people concerned about some sort of record being kept of the incident or go down the Accident and Emergency and make sure you get some sort of record of the mishap. | zqwerty (97) | ||
