Have just invested, for the first time, in some arnica (cream and little pill-ish things) as I was getting a tad concerned by my war wounds (aka humungous bruises after my graceful tumble at the wedding this weekend just gone). What fantastic stuff! The little but very alarmingly-coloured bruise on my pelvis seems to be fading each time I look at it, and the enormous one on my knee is doing all sorts of interesting things - it started off blue/green, moved to black/purple (which would have matched my wedding outfit fabulously), and is now kind of blue/grey and appears to be both being drawn out quicker and yet fading too at the same time. It's still massive though, haven't had a bruise like that since I fell down the stairs on my bum a few years ago at New Year (bum was black for weeks).
The gammy shoulder is still not right - it keeps clicking, and still hurts when I'm getting dressed etc. But it's better than it was. I've given the gym a miss this week, but will try swimming tomorrow and see how I feel after that. Couldn't get a doctor's appointment till next week, so best to be on the safe side I suppose and avoid the gym till then (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :D ). Mind you, I'm feeling dead lardy at the moment, so I hope it hurries up and stops hurting so much every time I use it.
