You poor bastard!  You have my most sincere sympathy.  I know how bad it
is. 
I hope you are better soon.

Ask the quack if you should be resting up with your leg elevated.  I know 
they insisted that I have my hand elevated and in a sling for 3 days - it 
just about killed me to do it, but I figured I couldn't live without that 
hand being useful.

When I got mine, I knew I'd pricked my thumb a few days before (most
minute 
prick you've ever seen).  I was at work and for the last hour of my work 
time I realised that my hand wasn't working all that well and that it was 
looking red so I thought I'd drop by Casualty on my way home just in case.

When I got to Cas., it was about midnight and as the hospital is
undergoing 
renovations it was as black as pitch and I didn't even know if the
hospital 
was open.

I have to say that the treatment I received was outstanding.  I was the
only 
one there and they had me inside and on a gurney with a drip in my arm 
before I could say "Jack Robinson".

I'd felt like a fraud for going there with such a small complaint, but
when 
I asked the Doctor if I'd done the right thing by disturbing them, he told

me this harrowing tale about a builder who had ignored his sore finger and

was now up for major reconstruction work on his hand that would put him
out 
of action for months.  It really seems to a far more major complaint than
I 
realised.

Take care and good luck with it.  Nuke it till it's better.
