I'm sure we all get bruises riding our bikes, but what about a really really really bad one?

I fell riding XC up at Whistler a week ago Monday and it's still very painful and swollen. It looks like I have a 3rd a$$ cheek and I can't bend my leg enough to get a full pedal stroke with out almost falling over in pain.

How big and painful is too big and painful? Is it something worth visiting the doctor for?

Thanks, Snacks.

Damn - sounds like you'd be better off dating Bobby Brown... :p

I'm guessing its right on your hip? My experience with bruises in that area is that they last for a looooonnng time :mumble: . I had one way back when I was a pretty young pup and it was there for months. I had the doc check it out just in case and he said it would last much longer than I would ever think...and it did. :mad: stoopid bruises...Im nursing one on my shin that will be 4 weeks :eek: this Saturday and is still very painful. Imagine full on dh run speed and stopping in aproximately 1.78943 inches with nothing but your shin. I went to the doc for fear of a busted leg. I should have "around six months" of pain in the area to look forward to.

haha, my ex-wife and i did martial arts together, she loved getting bruises and beating people up in the school. People would ask her if I was hitting her and she'd laugh.

For your bruises, try a topical oinment called Arnaflora (sp?). It helps the healing process and the discomfort.
