Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 +1 anything you do now will only add to the injury, and prevent you from getting better. Suck it up, bro, and take it easy. No racing for you.
GLuvsMtb Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I say drink the arnica and rub the cataflams on your calve. That's much more sensible than doing the event with a known injury.
Face Plant Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 calves respond well to kenesio taping the last thing you want to hear is probably the best advice! dont race with an injury .... rest it
E-man Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Rest and don't do the event. I'm doing the race have 5 weeks to rest after Sunday so missing it is not option. . .just want to know which product is best
E-man Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 Acupuncture could help. Physio tried this, rest is probably my best bet but really don't want to miss this race
Ratty Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) My chiro gave me advice once for my knee (ITB) and that was to use Traumeel tablets 2-3 days before the ride and during the ride. However that is a NATURAL anti-inflammatory. If you need all the things you specified above, you should not be riding. Edited December 2, 2011 by Ratty
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Physio tried this, rest is probably my best bet but really don't want to miss this race Best bet is to miss the race. The race itself could cause far more damage, and result in permanent problems. Rest, damnit!

gummibear Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I'm doing the race have 5 weeks to rest after Sunday so missing it is not option. . .just want to know which product is best You might not finish the event and need 6 months for it to heal afterwards....is it worth it?

E-man Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 K-Tape and rest. Is k-tape better than trans act?
