    Ouch it is!

    Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!! Ohhh I so feel for you. And it always happens when you are wearing your most expensive/favourite pair of nicks. Remember.... rest, ice, compression, elevation... except if any of those things hurt

    Hang in there and remember, as soon as you can, get right back on that horse.

    Take care
    Keep ridin' and smilin'....

    RM, sending you loads of healing butterflies!! Ouchie! And, yes, ice & elevation are necessary, but don't forget to massage the bruises! They heal faster that way!

    Hugs,

    The butterflies are within you.

    thanks all! This morning I'm a bit sore. I tried to run, but my shoulder wouldn't take the motion.
    Lastnight my mom chastised me for not cleaning out the wounds on my hip. I landed squarely on a patch of jagged granite rocks, so I have a bunch of puncture type wounds. My mom is concerned about all the "bugs" in our soil (her words). Our soil does have a bacteria that causes this nasty thing called Valley Fever, so I guess she has a point. So I had running son help me to clean them out with peroxide. YIKES did that sting. This morning my hip is all bruised around the patch of punctures. No way I can massage those right now tho.
    YOUCH the whole area is just too sore!
    Hope to be back riding tomorrow, but I think it'll be on the road bike!

    Major yow-wee indeed. Please take it easy and you may want to give your shoulder an extra day of healing.

    going OTB is a pretty major

    wish you quick recovery.

    Ouch is right!!! Take care of yourself and heal fast.

    I'm just getting back into mtn biking and I've had plenty of spills as of late. Nothing like that though and mine hurt plenty enough.
