    Best wishes to handy and Mrs H, really not funny not to have spotted a break.

    It is strange this cyber space, how the troll game causes grief ,watched it for weeks before Handy gave the game away by admiting it was a game.

    Good Morning All, Hi geatagrip. I looked at Mrs H's X Rays with the Doctor.
    On the first on taken on June the 11th it looks totally normal, This weekends shows a faint shadow on an area of the bone. She has Osteoporosis so its more than possible that the break is a stress fracture. The pain presented like gout. The only complaint I have is that it took all this time to make a diagnosis. If they had called for an MRI when the pain got worse, they would have picked it up then.

    The one thing that alarms me is having to go through the history with each and every medic. The case history is on the screen, but they never read it. The osteopaths are the worst.

    As to Trolls, there are Trolls and then there are those who are clever enough to cause grief and derision by how they ask or answer questions. Like our friend of yesterday. I reserve judgment on him for the time being. If he doesn't like the answers he get's then maybe he needs proper legal advice. I know one or two people who always want a second opinion even when the advice they get is the right advice.
    (my employer is one such person).

    Suns up now and time for Handy to start work.
    Regards all, Handy.:D

    Morning all :hello:

    Madcat, I just use ph0tobucket for images (bumps etc) so don't use it for my own photo's. I'd do as Handy says and resize. If all else fails have a word with Numpty as well xx

    Good Morning Folks.

    Handy - really sorry to hear about Mrs Handy (missed the post when I popped on yesterday). Good job you decided to take her in to the hospital yourself - sounds like the local docs were being pretty useless. Hope that she is improving now.

    Sometimes I think we need more clarification on what is not a troll to add to the existing what is a troll post on the top of our pages. And just giving answers that a poster does not like or want to hear does not make the responder a troll.

    I think your right Tixy, its a hard one isn't it. I find when someone first posts here, they rightly are upset with their money worries but often people's replies are correct maybe a bit blunt but correct none the less.
    The OP needs to log off and read again a few hours later and I'm sure they would then agree too.

    A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll?
    A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

    What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
    Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Report” icon, as shown below:
    report.gif
    Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.
    PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

    It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
