Dvorak 4 Feb 10:02pm, 4 Feb 2023 26,602 posts	0 Dvorak I had today. Parkrun, pretty mediocre run-walk (which was ok as I've had a chest infection) then bam! Doon like a sack of tatties. Rocky bit of trail, caught my foot. Landed on my side and rolled onto my back. Aside from banging my head lightly on a rock, thought I'd largely got away with it. Not so fast. When the scanner asked if I was hurt, I said I'd find out in a couple of hours. Grazed shoulder, bit uncomfortable, non-troubling lump on head. But my ribs. Caught the bottom lhs of the ribcage, and every time I move, I'm squealing. Ach weel. I'm administering analgesics - by which I mean booze - and anticipating an uncomfortable night.

Drell 23 Apr 1:14pm, 23 Apr 2023 2,589 posts	0 Drell I had an unscheduled rapid prostration on my run this morning. Grazed knee, elbow and thigh and some spectacular bruises on the way, I'm guessing.

57.5 Degrees of Pain 6 Jun 12:34am, 6 Jun 2023 13,005 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I've had a few episodes of falling over with the usual bruised knees, forearms, hands etc. I've once damaged my shoulder enough to need a steroid injection and physio rehab. But I've never tripped while using my phone to navigate the best way home on a run and tried to embed it in my eye... Luckily there seems t be no permanent harm, just a lot of funny looks.
