Hi girls, I have a question that needs the expertise of those who may have taken a silly (or serious) spill and are suffering the consequences.
So I crashed lastweek, down hillin' and sprained my MCL, and perenael and quad muscles...
the problem!!!
it hurts like hell!!! my chiro (who I trust with this sort of injury) asked that I not ride for 7-10 days.... she did acupuncture and active release.... and 3 days later I am in pain...still. It's a dull ache, not the severe stabs that I initially felt, but enough that I want to sit down and cry after a 8 hour day (retail slave :( )
My question....with a sprain... how long do you girls think that I should sit out....wait til approval from my chiro and trust that she knows best?????
I feel my ride time slipping away, and I don't feel so bad when I peddle (slowly...)
Any advice...I'm going stir crazy...not to mention the pain is annoying!!!!!
thanks.
