I have a problem with slamming. I have only broken one bone *knocks on wood* but I have strained and sprained my muscles so many times and it's probably one of the most annoying injuries in my opinion. I know no one on VitalBMX.com is a doctor, but does anyone know how to make strains and sprains heal faster? Or just help muscles pains in general hurt less?
I fell the other day on my shoulder and every time I fall on my right shoulder, it seems like I pull a muscles or strain a muscles or do something that keeps me from riding for a while which sucks. On Sunday, when I fell, it was on concrete and I hit pretty hard. I ended up just going home like 20 minutes after it happened because trying to do anything that required me to pull was death. I have been taking hot showers and letting the hot water run on my arm, icing the area that hurts, using a heating pad, putting A TON of icy hot cream on, and I took a hot bath in essential oils and Epsom salt last night, which was great. Is there anything else that I can do to help my muscles feel better? I rested all yesterday and plan to do the same today but I have a package coming either tomorrow or the next day and I'd love to put the new parts on and have a session.
