The wierdest thing happined. After about 30 mins after posting this, the pain just vanished! It went from throbbing to zilch within a matter of seconds! Didnt know pareacetamol was that effective!

Hi folks,
Had a niggling pain over the coarse of the wekend in my left leg (whats that musscle behind ones shin???) It is throbbing mainly in one place but sends a pain down my foot and knee aswell.
I used to get similar 'growing pains' when i was young, im guessing im having a late teenage dose of growing pains....
Ive taken paracetamol, does anyone know other ways to sooth cramp???
Methods wuld be helpfull cos at the mo' its really sore, near agonising, and begining to be a pain in the arse!!!

Whole weekend in the car fishing probably didnt help

Emz,
Like i said, what do they know?? I never think about it, i could be working away, or even fishing with nothing but good things on my mind, and then outa knowere it happens! Once the docs found out that ECG was clear they told that I DO suffer from panick attacks, no ifs or buts, and sent me to the relevant people.
What Leon says about centre of the chest is really helpfull to me; i always get shooting pains right down the left, im guessing its something more to do with 'heartburn' stoch acid...
Its all so confusing, but bloody scary when it happens.
Look forward to the pmErm, panic attacks? I wouldn't have thought that was it : / When I get these pains, they just come for no reason at all. I could just be relaxed typing away here and I'll just feel a stabbing pain in my heart :/ it certainly is a possibillity I suppose, I just wouldn't have thought so? Who knows. Lucky I've only got to wait till Thursday to my scan.
I have no idea what they do in this scan :S They don't stick needles in you or shove you down a tube or anything do they? :S
Ahh right. Thanks David
-
PS, when i first went to the doc's about it, they also sent me ato get an ECG, months later i might add! Everything came back normal, but despite this i still dont believe it when i get all the frightening symptoms. When the test came back as normal, thats when they started saying i was getting it due to stress, ad was having panick attacks.
What do doctors know???

Glad i seen this post..!!
I dont really tell many people, but ive had chest pains, and palpitations for the last few years (those who have been on the forum after hours may know about it
) Your now starting to worry about it, and think about it more, and are having what i was described to as 'panick attacks' which will snowball your thoughts, and will make the syptoms more frequent, and worse, if you cant get ontop of them. Rest assured, there is almost certainly nothing wrong with you (or me, for that mjatter) but when it happens, its frightening, and its almost impossible to think that your actualy ok.Ill send you a PM emz.

Winter,
It is good to catch new things now and again, but there are alot of anglers that see dogfish on the east coast as the beggining of the end for cod fishing. You will have heard the theory about dogfish eating cod young, etc etc, and the abundance of cod on the west coast and lack of cod. I dunno how much truth is in it though...

An englashman is sitting at a table of a restruant eating breakfast in the form of croissants + jam one morning, and is approached by a proud looking frenchman, who is chewing gum. The frenchman sparks up a conversation...
Frenchman: Do you eat the whole bread in Brittain?
Englashman (huffily answers) Ofcoarse we do!
Frenchman: We dont, we only eat the insides. We collect the crust in containers, recycle it and make it into croissants and sell it to the Englash.
He continues whilst poping the gum in his mouth loudly, irritating the englashman...
What about jam, do you eat that?
Englashman (Now p***ed off!) Yes, we do!
Frenchman: We dont, we eat fresh fruit. WIth the skinpeels, we put in a tub. We recylce the peels and turn it into jam, and sell it to the englash. The frenchman once again loudly cracks the chewing gum in his mouth, and smiles away..
The Englashman speaks up: Do you have sex in France?
Frencman: Ofcoarse!
Englashman: And what do you do with the condoms once youve used them??
Frenchman: Throw them away ofcoarse. (He cracks his gum one last time)
Englashman: We dont. In the UK we recycle condoms... We collect them in containers, melt them down, and sell it to the french as chewing gum!

Thanks for your comments everyone, youve no idea how encouraging and how much it means to me... Thanks!
And Damo i kinda agree. 'Yatesy' has pretty much seen it, and done it all. If i get half as far as him, and other such 'sinners'
in 30 years time - ill be a happy man! -
Folks took me today to the nice people at Arnold Clark in Edinburgh for a look at cars, and we had made our mind up within 10 minutes before two other interesties parties could snatch her up.
Got myself a 1.0 Litre Corsa which is just a year old and only done 1000 miles.
Need to comment on inurance, because i quite frankly still cant believe it. On advise i got my mum to take up the insurance, with me bieng the named driver. Tesco qouted fully comp - 185 quid for a year!!!!! Almost to good to be true....
Well, atleast thats all taken care of, and Britains roads are no longer safe, this year i will be fishing aot more places around uk than ive been able to previously

I have to say, when i was a wee lad and caught my first bass, i was awed! Its silver shine and the way it kept flaring its gills towards me, trying its best to stab me with its sharp bits made me giggle...
At the time, i felt as though i was holiding something famous, and had to let it swim free, back into the shallow white water.
Mind you, i get a diffrent feeling with most diffrent species - they all have there special qualities that keep me going back for more.
-
Fishing alone, hmmm... yes i have done so, i really dont know if i prefer it or not...
Excusing the fact that i have a mind that likes to play tricks on me when im on my tod (not so much in daylight - very much so in darkness!!!) i just really enjoy the company of fishing with pals. I find it so much more enjoyable when its a sociable event where everyone can chill, learn from each other etc etc. The odd times when its nothing but the sound of the waves as company are nice too i suppose.
-
Dat's ma boy!!
You fishing over the next week or two??
-
Soon as i can get car/insurance sorted and theres fish to catch down by ill be there
Big hounds are high on the list of things to do this year...
-
Will have a browse when im back-gotta run out to the shops...
NU are really doing my head in, ethe last two times ive reached a call centre in India, the guy says yes we will give you a qoute aslong as you do a quick survey about the service, of which he proceeds to press all the buttons for "good service" then hangs up on me!!!

Im going to give abit of a report on how i see it. Ive been using a K2, 15 foot for the last 5 months or so, many thanks to Sea Angling News fish of the month and Shakespear for starters!
Like alot of people before bying, or even trying on of these new continental 'wobble sticks' as i thaught of them, i was extremely sceptical. There was no need to get used to it though, loved it from the first cast! I started with 15lb line and it flew. I did feel that 6oz was perhaps slightly heavy, but 4/5 oz was a breeze, and infact an absolute pleasure to fish with. Despite the thaughts about legnth before usng one, its really not a hinderance, and is infact more of a plus.
Hardly need to try, just overhead thump and away it goes. Technuiqe goes out the window, as its simply not reqired. Only one thing you need to be on-top of is knowing the perfect time to release the line.
As i say, i was impressed! I decided to go totally contenental, and see just how much i could push the issue and get away with it in our waters. On clean ground, i now use 8lb mainline with my K2, and yo ucan imagine how much that flies!!! I use two rod legnths of 15lb line, then onto a normal legnth of 40lb line as a rubbing leader.
There is no way to describe it! Ive not yet caught anything big, but the shock absorbtion in the rod means that the light line simple wont break when bringing in a fish. To test the theory i went macky bashing in summer. Had several strings of 5 mackeral, and a few good ones thrown in and thus far no snap offs. This has got to be the ultimate for match angling at exteme range over clean ground for lots of fish. Bite detection etc.
The one thing about the K2, it will not handle rough ground, and will fold over (and cause extreme pain!!!) when snagged up.
Highly recommended, but like anything its horses for courses

Before i start singing my sheer delight about what im going to say, i must confess to bieng a naughty boy and going against advice, and took a MAJOR gamble (i dont usually gamble!!) Following my nose this time really has paid off!
Monday i started my new job, and could not work out a way of going for my second interview with a big company on wedensday, so on tuesday, before i had sighned any contracts i decided to leave the firm after my long 1 day stint in the hope, every finger crossed, that i wuld get accepted for my second interview.
After my interview on wedensday the woman told me how well ide done to get this far, so i was sortof thinking that that was her way of letting me down. Got a hone call today from her however, and i start working for Scott Moncrief chartered accountants as from January the 9th!!!
I mean, ME, working for an accountant!!?? and will get into that field and do exams for them etc shortly. Who'd have thaught??
Just want to thank you all for your help!
Cheers
Shaun

I know, i know
:PWatch out and not catch any nuclear radioactive fish
Should i give them any more hints Les
Edit: Infact im not so sure its where i think it is now!
Where these Bass taken home?
in Kayak Fishing
Posted
Ta Paul,
Ofcoarse they were returned
It was actually a double shot - quite easy there really when theres a big school... Might not sound so appealing, but scale the tacke right down and its a laugh when nothing else is happening!
As for going back with a kick, eh!!?? They always seem to flare there gills/fins there. Perhaps they know what kind of people generaly tend to fish there, and want to get a spike in so to speak, before there untimely demise...
