Can you get time in a hyperbaric chamber through work?

Mean't to be very good. Know a scaffolder that used one 3 times a week. Said he had never felt so good as all his aches and pains went away. As well as speeding up his break.

Thanks guys for your concerns.

However not as bad as it may seem. Just a fracture to left radius and scaphoid from falling off the mountain bike.
More than an inconvenience than really. Another 4 and a bit weeks in the cast then i'm free to do it all again.

I kept cracking the plaster cast when I broke my scaphoid plus it made using the rear brake on the mountain bike difficult.

They put me in a fibreglass cast which was light & thin enough to wear under bike gloves & jacket hardly knew it was there.

See if the hospital will do the same for you - cople of words of warning though, doctors are not best pleased when you turn up for check-ups on the bike plus the fibreglass plaster is so rough you can give yourself gravel rash in your sleep!

Get well soon both of you, it's gonna stink when the plaster comes off with after this heat.

when i broke mine they cast my wrist, a couple of weeks later i went to USA where i got pushed in a pool - bye, bye cast.

lucky it healed.

Its a resin bonded type bandage thats light and breathable. The side cutters have been quite usefully in adjusting it around my thumb so I can manage better.

I did change hand when using the air gun to take the car wheel nuts off. As I thought the vibration probably wasn't good on the new growth.

Yes it is starting to smell... But some people (not mentioning any names) said that about me anyway!
