I was merrily riding along on Monday morning at Llandegla when my front wheel washed out and I hit the deck most spectacularly, now as I wasn't expecting this to happen I hit the trail rather hard with my right forearm/elbow & right hip/thigh.
It knocked me a bit dizzy and I had to have a little rest for a couple of minutes.
My arm hurt instantly and the blood coming through my base layer suggested a cut of some variety, closer inspection could wait - turned out to be a 3" cut/abrasion to my forearm, glad I had my jacket on otherwise I reckon it'd much worse.
I carried on for the rest of the ride, packed up, went home and had a nice warm shower.
Come Monday evening my arm was pretty sore and starting to swell a little, my leg on the other hand was most painful - I can put weight on it fine and walk along but it hurts and I seem to have a bit of an injury induced limp.
Fast forwards to this afternoon: I can't put weight on my elbow i.e. can't lean my elbow/forearm on my desk and my leg is still killing me to walk on, bizzarely it's ok to ride on
But the bruising hasn't come out yet despite the tenderness and the swelling in the area of impact.
I'd expect the thigh to be just a bad bruise in waiting, but I'm slightly concerned about my elbow, I've got a full'ish range of movement but as I've said I can't lean on the point of impact.
Should I be concerned/visiting the doctor/A&E or just get on with it and give it a couple of days.
