[Closed] Just been crashed in to

I can wiggle my toes, does that mean they're not broken?

IANAD - Yes, probably - when I broke my hand, it swelled up like a balloon and was intensely painful. If you are wiggling it and loading it without howling, you're probably fine. If in doubt, go for a proper opinion.

Anything else damaged? have you reported to the police? (you are injured, so AFAIK you are obliged to report it).

You should report this as you have been injured. I would suggest you get the foot checked to be sure, better safe than sorry. Heal quickly 😉

I broke 3 bones in my ankle. A&E missed this (took best part of 4 months to find out - long story!) but everyone said 'you haven't broken anything otherwise you wouldn't be able to walk on it'.

Well, I could walk, well hobble, on it so they were all wrong. As my GP said a year later 'bloody hell, that was a right mess. How was that missed'

Anyway, I'd get yourself along to your nearest Walk In Centre to see a nurse. The one I saw when I did the ankle breaking was convinced it was broken, just a shame A&E were so inept!

Nothing is swollen as yet and feeling fine... other than injuries sustained trying to ride down a frozen Jacobs ladder yesterday 😀

It's not tremendously clear who gives way to who there is it!?

that is a dreadful junction - get well soon!!

Rachel

Just for my peace of mind, who does have right of way there? 😀

I'd get yourself along to your nearest [b]Walk In[/b] Centre

no need to tease the poor bastard! 🙂

Give way lines (road not cycle lane) should be on the second island not the first that would sort it out, at the moment you're both giving way to each other so...

that is confusing. Everyone as to give way!

Would the roundabout rules of give way to the right apply? If so and going on that shot you are going from left to right and the car is coming towards us? If so then she should look left and give way but the junction really is rubbish as the car coming towards us already has to look left to give way to bikes going right to left so why not left to right too?

Even more reason to report it I reckon so hopefully it gets looked into and correctly marked up.

Glad you're Ok, if your foot starts swelling go to A&E.

As for reporting it, that's up to you. If you have time to sit in police station for ages then talk to some who doesn't give a sh*t then do it.

Did you get her details/witnesses in case you did report it?

I broke 3 bones in my ankle. A&E missed this ... my GP said a year later 'bloody hell, that was a right mess. How was that missed'

Three cheers for our glorious NHS!

😈

was a bit shaken up afterwards, got her phone number but forgot to write down her reg! Muppet.

No witnesses stopped, about 5 cyclists went past too, cars all drove round the back of her.

I was going right to left in that pic by the way... opposite way to the direction of traffic on the dual carriage way, hence slowing right down!

Had a similar one ten years ago, broke foot (unknowingly) running down stairs at work, hobbled on it for three days then went to A & E when bruising started appearing between my toes. After x-rays was sent away with a leaflet about sprains. A month later got a letter from the hospital asking me to go in, they told me I had broken my ankle/top of foot (the tendon at front of calf had pulled a sliver of bone out of my foot!), the original X-ray inspection had missed it (trainee doc apparently) and they checked it was healing fine and sent me on my way.

I would say the bikes have right of way - the lines on the road are newer. Report it for sure. Its an injury accident and must be reported. If you feel generous phone her and tell her yo are doing so and she should as well - get her reg no at the same time if you can

It's not tremendously clear who gives way to who there is it!?

Well, just went to the NHS walk in centre and was informed that it'd be £25 for them to take a look at me and they cant do x-rays there anyway so there's a good chance they'd take my money and then refer me to A&E anyway!

What? Thats out of order. Are you sure it was an NHS unit? What ws the unit called?

£25 for them to have a look at you. I would thought that would have been free being NHS, unless it is a private place. Mind you I reckon that you are right thay will ship you off to A&E once they have fleeced you.

Did you tell to get on their bike? 😀

I broke 3 bones in my ankle.

Me too, years ago in a rollerskating incident. My mother (the nurse) said "oh, you can wiggle your toes, nothing wrong with it other than a sprain"

Next morning I couldn't put any weight on it, she reluctantly to me to A&E, low and behold ankle broken in 3 places. The doctor called her a bad mother

No mention there of a charge for services...

They did say that it would be £25 because it was an RTA. Should have told them an elephant stood on my foot.

I'm not sure how much sympathy i'd get at A&E if i turn up on a bike but i'm not leaving it in Manchester over night, even in the work car park.

What is the point on having give way to both the main road and side road? It's a side road, people joining and leaving the main road should give way.

scary tho, bad design

Errmmm- what you need is a minor injuries centre. Like a small scale A&E. Looks like manchester might not have them but there is something at the MRI.
