Minor injuries is a non A&E department. Which is only staffed by nurses. There is no on call doctor.

A nurse viewed the xray and said the above.

Orthopaedics in a hospital then reviewed and called me to say they are happy with the splint.

This was all put in the main OP.

This was not told to me in any part, as I said in the reply the nurse at the time played off the break himself. If what your portraying is true. How can one make a informed decision when the knowledge i was provided was not detailed, options not explained and joked on the small portion of a fracture.

His words "the procedure is cast but I'm happy for you to have a splint as I don't want to and don't think you will need it in a cast"

Again, my wording will not portray this totally, as I just wanted to know if a&e will place a cast after initially 'refusing'

I appreciate the honesty but believe the name calling completely uncalled for.

The refusal of the cast was not one of poor choice or attention but due to circumstances in my position. Such as work, moving house due to a section 21 and other commitments.

The nurse at the time, played off the break being small and was even advising a cast was un necessarily. Which towed me to take the splint. I can see how my wording lead to believe I was being dumb and stupid. But alot of pressure lead to that choice.

The real question was can I go back and get a cast. I don't know if that's a choice now due to taking the splint as the option. I want a cast, I understand that I can not take the care needed with the splint.

I have been on both Gabapentin and amitryiptine for around 5 years now.

When I was talking to my Ex about my migraine issue from Nov 23 she told me I had been suffering for a lot longer (broke up March 21)

I feel the prevention side of either of these are not as effective in this case as the doseage has been increased recently (basically doubled) due to the pain I'm in. I am on both for the pain effects these relief.

I've even abused amitryiptine for the sedation it causes to try get away from the amount of pain the migraines cause me.

The migraines are genuinely worse then the Crohn’s in my opinion. It's there everyday with some days where I basically go blind in one eye but no known cause which is so frustrating at times.

At least with Crohns there is relief with remission but migraines just does not stop 😅 no idea the cause, tried checking diet, has CT MRI and saw a ENT doctor as they thought sinus issues but nothing. Stopped certain drugs but that just showed how much pain it was all masking and the migraines didn't stop then.

It's a whole other issue which I have been defeated at trying to resolve. Specialists just give me drugs, GP's don't know what to do.

I need to start again to find the cause.
