Had a stupid mishap yesterday morning. I had opened the drop-down door on my eye-level grill, got distracted and did something else, forgot grill door was open and walked right into it.....
DS1 who was visiting is a first aider and sorted it out, but 36 hours later it still keeps bleeding. Should I see if I need a stitch? Really don't want to go to A&E if it can be avoided.

It probably needs a stitch or have it glued to stop a bad scar. Heads bleed easily. Get it sorted.

I wouldn't go to A & E with this but the GP surgery or Minor Injuries unit if you have one. It probably just needs steri strips.

I am 68, and finding my legs and feet ache when walking, also I have problems getting up after sitting.
Is this normal for my age or should I see doc.
Would very much appreciate advice.

Hi 65clare, I'm afraid I can't advise you on this but, if you start a new thread about it, I'm sure you will get lots of advice.

65 Clare. As a retired GP I suggest you see your doctor. It could be due to numerous reasons e.g. arthritis, vascular, back problem. Go and get examined and investigated would be my advice. Hope it improves
