After my accident at work on July 18th I’m still signed off. The staples have now been removed but my leg is still a lovely mess of the original cut and the staple marks. To add to my fun my foot keeps blowing up like a balloon if I do too much so I’m on ordered sofa rest. This has however started another problem in that my back is now sore. I have in the past had two separate spinal disk herniations (previously known as a slipped disk). What would you do when the solution for one triggers the other?

Don't forget to move every hour even if it's only to the toilet/bathroom or your back will stiffen up

Hi Sue,

Still here. My back is still sore but is slowly improving. My foot on the other hand still looks like a balloon. It does go down a bit but the minute I get up and start moving it blows up again :-(

Hi Tawny,glad your back is slightly better nothing worse than back(had it since I broke 10 vertebrae in 1984).Swollen foot needs massaging a little to try and get the swelling down .

Hope you get better soon.Massive Hugs as I know what it's like to have both.

Have now got what I call elephant feet cos Doctor wouldn't give me either antibiotics for burst skin or water tablets.
