Thanks yes it is a bit ouch!
No I’m not getting it checked yet just because it’s entirely central and I didn’t feel anything crack, even if it did hairline fracture they wouldn’t do anything for it anyway.
The general rule of thumb is after 3 (or sometimes 4) days if it’s improving it’s unlikely to be broken, if it gets worse then yes you may have broken something. So I’ll wait see how it goes.
It’s really hampering my tea drinking though and that feels quite serious
Thanks TR. It does feel like it might take sometime. Usually I’m good at falling, my forearm (not hand) automatically goes out to break the fall but the cardboard accelerated it to such an extent I hit the chair before I could help myself!
Glad I’ve been taking my vitamin D
