This sounds like a new thread topic, but I'm having trouble coming up with an appropriately interesting title !

How about... Old folks complaining about their injuries and meds.

I resemble that remark

What to talk about when your trapped in the house?

Iḿ 71, & still going thru puberty.

Does anyone use DMSO anymore... it was very popular in the '70s for sports injuries

My Rugby team back in the 80's ran on the stuff. It helped that one Flanker and one Winger were Veterinarians. Personally, I chose other methods.

I'm also getting a pair of knee and elbow pads for off-road! Better to avoid injuries than treat them.

Dirt bikers use knee braces that are also pads. Much better if you are taking chances. The good ones are not cheap.

Today, here, down from hazardous to merely ´unhealthy´. Aren´t you thrilled? Not much comfort for those who lost
homes or evacuated. Humidity´s back up; makes it easier to digest.

not here still about 480 so I had to ride the bus. two days sitting at home has made my leg hurt as much as riding has.

Ours as well. No smoke on the ground this AM. I may venture out for a short ride despite the 188 AQI. Not exercising is also unhealthy...

Pass, the wife just came in from a brief attempt to water flowers; said it went straight to her lungs. I´ve got near 50k mi on my old
schwinn stationary bike. I´ll just go for a few more. The only way I could possibly be more socially distanced would be divorce. I haven´t
spoken more that a couple sentences to another person since May.
P.S. I don think you´ll need the sunglasses.

Sounds like you might have a greenstick fracture to your femur. A simple xray instead of MRI might confirm of deny.
Then again the body takes a long time to absorb a massive hematoma. I had a pretty good one in my armpit after
this last fall, Humerus was driven into the joint like a sledge hammer. Don´ be a hero; get it looked at, but under no
circumstance go to an ER. That way lies madness. Don´t sign anything! It gives ´em a license to steal.

no I had a x ray and all is fine. well fine to a x ray. they did a ultrasound of my alien bump too. the bump is pretty much gone but the mussle below it is whats hurting. I asked for PT all that would be left is a MRI.

We're down to 139 - still unhealthy for me so will put the bike away until December.

Okay, That sounds like the muscle has been partially torn where it attaches, &, or probably a bad bone bruise, painful & takes forever to heal.
Be kind to your leg, mobile, but avoid stress. Just guessing, but this one may be with you for a while.

Pat, thereś always a stationary. Around here I´ve seen lots of set out on the street for free, also treadmills, even a bowflex. Check CL.

We're heading to the east coast this week, John, so it's not a big deal right now - just thought I'd get more rides in before we left than conditions have allowed.

Still hoping to find a decent option for an ebike at our second home location, so I can ride there, too!

How could I possibly bruise my bone landing on the end of a handlebar?? ya its gonna be slow thats why I want to get going on PT as soon as possible. a ebike at least lets me ride without working my leg much at all if I need to.

Wish I had that option.
