There's some pretty macho stuff going on here but it's a DD round for goodness sake, not BSB.

I take your points Jools, but to be fair I have read up on this, and would always seek professional advice first.

The medical text I read, said that it is very common to take paracetamol with ibuprofen. Ian just backed up what I had read.

Also, I would take the minimum dose, just to take the edge off any discomfort so that I can concentrate on racing and not nursing my arm. It's 75% there anyway, and anything that may make me drowsy will be backed up with cocaine or speed, so no worries there

It aint macho at all, I've raced with worse injuries and sooner after an accident... it's just in the way it is - 99.9% of racers do the same week in week out. I'm far from macho or a special case

If you need stronger stuff than the normal dosage of over the counter painkillers, get some professional help. Don't mess about with home brewed pain killer remedies, they can have dire consequences. To much paracetemol will cause irreparable liver damage, if you overdose on that stuff it's irreversible and can be fatal.

A cocktail of painkillers? A mix and match 'do-it-yourself' remedy taken from advice on a motorcycle forum? It may have worked for other people who did it using direct advice from their doctor, but taking them on secondhand advice from people who know about motorbikes but sweet FA about medicine? Get real Dom, it's your body we're talking about here and you've only got one, so look after it fer crying out loud.

There is not one person on here that can give you direct advice about what doses are safe to take or what mixture of painkillers you can take and the obvious stuff about drowsiness and riding whilst in cloud cuckoo land have already been said.

M8 this is what i'd have done,i'd done the same sort of break....and seeing us i work for a medicaL firm,and had got this information what the doctor who saw me...and have just spoken to the nurse at work to make sure this is still ok.
and she has wriiten it all out for me.......and i took the same stuff when i rode with a broken arm...and had to make sure the stuff would be ok to used on a race track!!

you've are so right about paracetamol..

thats why i said what the nurse said you cant take...

paracetamol......co-dydramol........co-codamol any of these together...BECAUSE THEY ALL CONTAIN PARACETAMOL

and you NEVER TAKE MORE THEN WHAT IT SAY ON THE PACKET!! AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO ANY OF THESE.......

OK, update...

I went in to the Chemist, and explained the situation (that I was at Mugello racing against Valentino Somebody) and the Farmysist said I should take Ibuprofen & Paracetamol, as the Cocodamol could make me drowsy, although it's the dogs danglies for pain relief.

So, Ian - You win a donut!!

[domski]

You bugger :P:P:P

Dom, yer a pansie! Just grin and bear it 'til the race, then when the light goes off, it suddenly stops hurting!

Adrenalin is so much better than anything you can get from Boots... worked for me at cadders anyway.

[domski]

Did you have a broken arm at Cadders?

Did you see the MCN article yesterday about Rocket lapping Donny with one arm tied behind his back???
