I’ve had mri scans of my head and whole spine. This has shown white matter changes in my brain and lesions in my spine. Consultant is almost certain it’s MS but she wants me to have a lumbar puncture. Anyway yesterday I was in my garden and suddenly my ankle gave way and I fell, hitting my back on a wooden sleeper. Today I am in a lot of pain in my back (have a huge bruise,)my ankle, my thigh and my hand. Any tips on easing it apart from tablets? Thank you
Ice gel packs and arnica cream on the bruises
If no ice packs… ice cubes in a bag, tie well as soon melt and leak. Alternatively, the the go to bag of peas 
. Do people really have a spare bag of peas in their freezer?

Oh no! A nasty fall is really not what the doctor ordered, is it? I hope you feel better soon. Just don’t start telling yourself that this is your life now. Anyone can have the bad luck to fall over, MS or not.
