Anyone else ever come down hard on their hip. It's been over a week since I came off and it's only the ibuprofen and codeine that is making it possible to get about. just wondered if anyone had experienced a similar injury and if so is there anything I could do to help me get back on my bike before I go completely crazy.

Hi Steph, I had similar last year when I came off in Spain. Sad to say it took a long time to recover, couldn't lie on that side for weeks. Even after the pain subsided, I had a massive contusion, looked like a hot water bottle. I went to the doctor after my family kept nagging, she said my body would absorb it, and it did after a couple of months, there was no treatment. I left it very late to go to the doctor, might be a good idea to get checked out earlier, maybe they'd give you stronger drugs.....

I thought that might be the case. I've had it checked out by a physio and he seemed pretty sure it's only internal bruising. He said he wouldn't be able to work on it until the bruising had gone down.
