Penfold, get yourself down to A&E matey or your GP, the sooner the better as any motor / liability insurer will seek medical evidence to support your claim and if the notes are there on your medical records it will easily assist your case.

To try and cut costs nowadays Insurers try to settle claims without the medical evidence as medical experts and obtaining the medical evidence isn't cheap so could be an easy £1k+ payout.

[LampsR5]

nail gun ?


they arent nails :P :P JRP you should go get that checked out...looks nasty :crap:








:cooter: just kiddin m8, hope ya get betta soon
