Hello,
Today I took it very slow knowing it had been cold overnight, but still whilst going round a tiny bend over black ice my bike slipped from under me and I fell all of my weight and the bike on my left thigh - thankfully catching the rest of myself with my left hand.
I have iced it twice and had a bath with some Epsom salts and smothered it in arnica. Yet I can feel my IT band is incredibly tight and painful. No visible bruising yet, this happened 8 hours ago. Any recommendations for a speedy recovery?
Just rest? Or ice and rest? Or ice and roll the muscle out? Or live in a bath of Epsom salts? etc
Any help is vey much appreciated, thank you!
