L Lower Leg, Other
2012-03-26 – 2012-03-30
Grade: 2
Infection (assumed) from either a bite (tick/mossy) or from all the many many scratches I got from gorse, brambles, dry heather or brashings during the race on Sunday 25th at Tyrebagger.
Shin swelled up and felt stiffer, three distinct bite like marks really sore but never itchy like a normal bite.
Taken break from training for a few days, and avoided trying foam roller on the leg incase it was something bad.
[UPDATE] - 29-03-12 - Swelling reducing now, visit to pharmacist yesterday put mind at rest, he seemed to think it would just reduce on it's own. Will try club session tonight and see how I get on.
[UPDATE] - 30-03-12 - Swelling gone, no ill effects from last night's session, happy days!
Think I got bitten, maybe need to pull socks up on rougher areas like Tyrebagger.
