My unexpected solution for face pain - isn't recommended

[supermum_ms]

Hey guys and dolls,

About a week ago, i had a heavy fall stepping away from Hobo (47kilo golden retriever x yellow Labrador) and DH's boisterous play zone. Turns out I was actually safer relying on Hobo's training hmmmmm than i was my own feet lol he can stop on a dime just inches from me, complete with a goofey grin and tongue hanging out. Yeah I proved I can stop on a dime too, though I do it horizontally and i'm not sure if my tongue is hanging out lol. I took down the dinning chair I grabbed onto to stop the fall (note to self - don't do that again!) said chair just helped by landing on me, end result OUCH!

My right shoulder and hip took the brunt of it and were quick to let me know, they were less than impressed with my acrobatic display. (Hobo stiff wore the grin lol) The next day i was really stiff and sore in my back and pelvis but i didn't know what was going on when i started getting face pain in my left jaw. I really though it was unrelated because the pain from the fall was getting better and better but my face just kept getting worse and pain killers were not touching it. I've had face pain many time before in my right side (neuralgia) but this didn't really feel the same, oh did it hurt though!

Anyhooo I was away (again) for a 4 day long weekend and yesterday whilst wakeboarding a last run before coming home, I pushed a little too far and face planted..................hard. Ok hard enough that i couldn't see at all for awhile, just a total grey/white out, head screaming pain and oh those little fairy lights/stars twinkling everywhere. Madness - i thought i'd keep going until my strength ran out, sanity - every ripple sent pain shooting up my neck and made my head explode so i stopped being mental and gave in.

But here is the solution - face planting hard enough to see those pretty little twinkling lights/stars, unexpectedly and completely removed my jaw pain and after days and days of it with no relief..........i'll happily take that solution, though DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone give it a try, no matter how desperate you get!

Now does anyone have an unconventional solution for whiplash?

Cheers.........JJ

ps A girls got to do, what a girls got to do, right? lol

you need to get together with Candy, between you two it could be a best seller!

[maxthecat43]

LOL, only you, JJ!

[supermum_ms]

All righty, no more crash test dummy impersonations for moi! :D

hmmmmm it looks like i've lost the ability to tell my right from left, um can't blame it on the face planting though, i've been mixing up my left from right for a while now. LOL DH pointed out last night, that it was the right side of my face (jaw) i'd been complaining about and holding all week, not the left side [dufus me] so when 'I' say left.........I might actually mean right lol my brain is scrambled eggs.

oh I wonder if that's the reason i keep calling everything 'dishwasher' okie dokie maybe that's just a me thingy :D

Cheers..........JJ

At least you didn't have to put Hobo on the wakeboard to fix him! Keep laughing and stop smashing yourself, ok? hugs, L

[karryon55]

It sure beats going to the chiropractor to but things back into alignment lol.

It sounds like you had a smashing time time lol. Did you see any fireworks during your stay? I hope you had a Happy Australia Day!

Hugs......Karry.

That's the theory Kyle but i'm also thinking the guiding principal is to slam a correlating body part, so to fix your foot, you might need to slam your knee in the door instead. ROFL

Cheers..........JJ

warning do not try this at home, the participants in this stunt are trained idiots lol

[kwarendorf]

So if my foot hurts all I have to do is slam my hand in a door?

ROFL - I make no promises, i enjoy the adrenaline rush way too much to stop just yet, i'll keep doing it until this little old body can't do it any more, though honestly at this particular moment, the after effect damb hurts! [booh hoo poor me whine winge winge lol]

I think i must of popped my jaw back, though i didn't realise it was out until after I tried to drill a new channel in the river.........with my head lol

My son had only just asked me, how I stop my self from being anxious of crashing, i told me i never think about negative things that might happen and just focus on enjoying myself. lol I even talked about how i'm usually hitting concrete and water is a lot softer blah blah blah, um yeah i'm sooooo not sure water is any softer when you hit it with your face.

cheers...........JJ

Your solution sounds way too painful to contemplate!!  You have to wonder whether you dislocated something originally, then put it back in place by crashing on your face.

Promise you won't do any more face planting for the foreseeable future JJ, please!!
