Advil???

actually for some odd reason, in my case it's always the day after the day after! I did smile at your question tho: you're asking a bunch of women who ride thousands of miles (sometimes all at once) on bicycles and you want to know how long we take OTC before we think something might be wrong? If there is no swelling or the swelling isn't gotten any worse and I don't have limbs that are unusable, I don't usually consider it a problem. But then - that's me. Sorry to hear about your endo but wow woman....well done on the landing! It's always the first fall that's the scariest yeah? So when are you tackling that trail again??

AAAHHHHH!!!...but corsair, i know exactly who i am asking!!! in my aging wisdom i have come to realize that the female pain tolerance is soooooo much greater than their counter-parts (why were we the chosen ones to reproduce??? like a man could EVER handle pregnancy) so how could i get relatively accurate input on something like this?
btw...i have been mtbing for over a year now and mentally practicing the tuck and roll every time i see a potential place for something like this to happen...i have even thought about going out to a grassy field and practice falling (with helmet on!) it could really save time in recovery!!! if you fall right!
...also...it was the day after the day after and i did cruise right down that same hill...but apparently someone else had issues with the loose rock cause it was put off to the side of the trail!

maillotpois - neck is A-OK today!!! but i did sprain ankle last year falling off a bridge and never saw anybody for it (i don't think it helped i got on an 8 hour flight 2 hours after the fall) still a little twinge here&there...stubborn!!!!

Lesson Learned - practice, practice, practice!!!! (even falling!!!)
