If you have no broken skin, go to a health food store and get yourself a
tube of Arnica Gel. It will knock down the pain, get rid of bruises and
heal it up faster. It will not heat up or cool down, you will not know
it's there. Wash your hands after you put on a small dab. It will
burn your eyes and don't take it in the mouth. It's great on any first aid
need such as Burns, bumps, bruises, blah, blah. Anybody in any elite
sport will attest to Arnica. I've put it on sprained ankles and continued
playing soccer. Taken bruises from hockey pucks away in two
days. Many other injuries. Have a massage therapist that puts it on
her hands and gloves them at night when she has worked them too hard on
clients. G.Affleck
Right now I can't do anything without it hurting,
but that's to be expected since it just happened this afternoon. We were
only about a mile from the farm, and after making sure that Jack seemed
okay, I mounted from a bank and he slowly walked me home. Acted like he
had a 5 year old kid on his back -- he certainly had a passenger and not a
rider. Untacked him myself (thank heavens for lightweight
saddles) since there was no one else around.
It's time to volunteer to work at some spring
rides.
