A few people I know with sports type injuries have avoided surgery with a course of accupunture.(after pysiotherapy wasnt working) Quite fast results. Just a thought.

My best friends uncle is my GP and besides collecting degrees for a hobby (no joke) he also is highly skilled and experienced in "alternative" medicine. Haven't had the need for acupuncture myself (no need to touch wood till I have a new bike), but have seen the results in others. Is at least worth looking into. Like anything though, results will vary, and it can depend greatly on the quality of the professional seen.

On the arnica front. That I can highly recommend from personal experience, in particular arnica gel. When I had my off, I put some (thanks BetterHalf for giving it to me) on my legs before I went to sleep. I woke in the morning, with that dull ache you get when things are healing, I had major increased movement in my legs. By the afternoon the ache had gone and the legs were 200% better than the arnica free day prior. Kicks the ass off of the likes of Deap Heat, etc.

Warning - Arnica is great but it is a poison so don't put it on broken skin.

acupuncture is great for soft damage. Or internal balance of the energies.

Maybe that's your problem Frosty, your internal energies are unbalanced. It's a damn good excuse for falling off I reckon.

I used to use some Chinese herbal stuff when I was into Kung-fu to get the bruises on my arms out called (forgive spelling, so I'll do it sort of phoentically) Zheng-gu-shui. It was great stuff and healed bruises shallow and deep quick as.

[FROSTY:Me]

open to any ideas to speed up natural healing.

After my slide down the road on sunday i was a little bit sore in the rib/left shoulder area.
The doc checked me over and after swearing at me (a lot).It seems I did a bit of damage. 1 cracked rib, a crack in the shoulder blade and some nerve damage. The metal work in the clavicle has also shifted a little.
The docs talking opperation to sort it out but at the moment (fingers crossed) Ive talked him into giving me a fortnight to settle and I hope heal up.
For the new riders here theres a couple of lessons to be learned -There aint no substitute for good riding gear. and it could happen to ya anytime ,anyplace
Ohh --and frosty can't ride for shit--but I fifgger that goes as said.

I hope all is well now.
