‘I rubbed banana into my ankle, as I had read somewhere that it had natural analgesic effects.’ – Iain Davies-Moore

‘Rolled my husband’s calf injury with my rolling pin.’ – Beverley Morritt

‘Running on the beach, I felt my quad explode and immediately took a left turn into the sea until I was up to my waist. Still in trainers and kit. It hurt for days

‘I rubbed toothpaste into my Achilles tendon.’ – James Hamilton

‘Put toothpaste on my blisters to dry them out.’ – Susan Merkett

‘Frozen sprouts on a knee injury (there were no peas).’ – @IainMcNeilage
