Can you get someone to watch the kids or at least go to A&E once they're at school tomorrow, if it doesn't feel any better?

I know the feeling. I came off and landed in a muddy mush with the bike on top of me and getting stung by nettles every time I tried to move. I called my son who was riding ahead to come and help. He sprinted back and then….took out his phone and started taking photos.I can vouch for that ..left me lying in a ditch at Kielder and just laughed at me ..
Easy done I went to a and e last year with ribs after a fall on a rock coming off bike. Gave me tablets as strong as morphine I had to go back and get injection to stop retching . Hopefully all is wellOoooooooff im off hard and busted my shoulderabsolute agony and not sure if anything is broke ! Never broke anything before so dont know how it should feel ! Cant see any lumpy bits sticking out nor any grinding of bone ( that wasnt there prior
) so gonna hold off going to A&E for now. View attachment 88242 View attachment 88243 View attachment 88244 View attachment 88245 View attachment 88246 View attachment 88247

Nobody wants to go to A&E, due to the queuing. Have you thought of calling in at your local pharmacy? The Government are encouraging people to use their pharmacy more and the pharmacists are responding well so it seems. They can't do an X-ray of course, but they should be able to be certain whether a bone is broken or not.

Cruising and attacking around Helsinki Central Park mtb trail.
It depends on what you've broken. Get yourself x-rayed, it's literally what you pay NI for.

Try call NHS 111 for advice if you can’t get to A&E tonight.
Also, make a sling out of a towel to support your arm and to help take the weight off of your shoulder.
Get ready to spend 6-8 weeks sitting on the sofa, gaining weight and being a royal pain
Best wishes Dave

Couldnt make it up.... spent 3.5 hours in A&E and literally only 2 people were seen. Matron came out and said anyone who has not been seen already will not be seen tonight !!! told to come back tomorrow 
WTF
Ive worked in this hospital for over 8 years and never have i witnessed anything like this.
im gonna pile on the pain killers and assess the pain / situation tomorrow and get my GP to refer direct to xray.
Thanks for all the advice.

It is truly beautiful.
Highest place in Australia is about 2200m.
To counter though we have much bigger spiders....

The Downs Link was a touch damp today
Is that why your feet have shrunk?
