| DragonFly | 2 days | Just let it heal naturally. Didn't do anything to stress it for a couple of days. Will need better gripping footwear to avoid such injuries. | details |

| jfredrickson | 3 days | A couple days off it did wonders. It also helped it to do as much walking as I could on it. The better it got, the more I was able to walk, and it really seemed to help keep it from stiffening up too bad which I imagine would have elongated the recovery period. | details |
| bryant | 3 days | it was mostly bruising and I can pretty much run on it again now, yay! | details |

| O-ing | 6 days | Took about 2-3 days to allow running again (if I wasn't sick). Quad still a bit tender till Day 6. | details |
| 5122 | 6 days | Bit of massage and keeping blood flow high despite it being painful. | details |
| Hirppa | 6 days | Most likely Hirudoid Forte helped in the recovery. At least mentally. | details |

| OL_Tony | 6 days | Een stukje ijzerdraad in je been, valt weinig aan te behandelen. Zal wel beter op wondjes letten. Heb een kleine EHBO set toegevoegd bij mijn OL uitrusting. (door deze ellende een week niet kunnen trainnen). | details |

| michalmy | 6 days | Bandages uncomfortable. Seemed to heal more quickly not covered up. | details |
| pfc | 7 days | Deep bruise on the dead center of my L quad. Nothing to do but rest and ibuprofen. Recovery was pretty quick. | details |
| robw | 7 days | Like Grant said it was good to run a bit on it even when it was sore since this seemed to help it get better. After the first day it was ok to run slowly but prob wouldnt have been good to run intervals. Wasnt much pain on the stair machine so prob could have run intervals on that if i hadnt been in London. | details |

| Anna | 7 days | Marking myself as recovered bc I successfully went for a run without the swelling bouncing around, but would hurt worse than original fall if I fell on it again (so not fully recovered to go to roller derby practice). Resolution is time, and will be wearing padded shorts and doing things at low speeds until it's fully recovered to fall on again! | details |
| Henerzz | 7 days | It healed very quick, I think because of the active recovery | details |

| jason.nz | 8 days | Sudden changes of direction and indecision led me to take an unwise short-cut. In future try to be more decisive and stick with decision. | details |

| KariItkonen | 10 days | details | |
| tdgood | 11 days | Orienteering on it made it worse (even just walking). I had to wait it out. | details |
| EmmaC | 12 days | details | |
| BanjoLasse | 12 days | Some ice would probably have helped. | details |
| Giuseppe | 12 days | details | |
| O-ing | 13 days | No real adverse effects, bar pain and discolouration | details |
| cedarcreek | 13 days | What caused it? Primary cause was probably pure chance, although (1) I was in a hurry. And (2) I worry that I am getting sloppy or less careful or something. I don't think (2) is a certainty, but it does worry me. I think I should have done specific, daily mini-workouts to it. I meant to, but it was too easy to just come home and not plan a workout. The few things I did were either too minor or *way* too intense. | details |
| bendover | 13 days | kept the wounds clean and changed dressings daily. | details |
| lowees | 13 days | Been to physio and got some electrical treatment and massage. Really made a difference! Not at all as tight and sore | details |
| Anna | 13 days | Taped padded shorts to minimize gap between pads, more strict about taking rest when tired (bc have worse form/fall more when tired). If I have a hard fall, sit out of contact drills for at least a bit, sometimes for the rest of practice. | details |
| _kev | 14 days | Rest. Ice. Elevation. | details |
| Robbs | 14 days | Don't get hit by cars... Failing that, give it time, take a break and let it heal properly. | details |

| FE | 20 days | It's slow process and took far more than 3 weeks for lump in quad to shrink significantly let alone disappear. | details |

| Cambas | 28 days | details | |
| McGonagall | 30 days | Hip flexor tendinitis: I did some strength exercises and ran at the park more which helped. It was nothing unbearable but it did hinder me on longer runs. | details |
| zimmi | 31 days | details | |
| cmorse | 32 days | just a deep bruise, deeper part of muscle probably because I fell on some snow covered rocks on the side. Vitamin I for the first week or so (only in AM when stiff). After that just avoided squatting down. | details |
| Nathan | 32 days | details | |
| vyc | 32 days | details | |

| jtorranc | 39 days | I should have iced, etc. much more in the immediate aftermath of the injury. I really shouldn't have gone to Florida and, having gone, I should probably not have run the long distance day. Physiotherapy, once I got it, produced a magical improvement. Did quite a lot of deep water running during the slightly over one month of not being able to train normally - clearly it's at least moderately effective at maintaining fitness. | details |

| NM | 46 days | Had massages and compression etc - all bruising was gone after a couple of weeks probably, but lump (possible scar tissue) remained - so thats what I've been massaging. Its not completely gone but is much smaller and no pain now so I should say 'resolved' I guess. | details |
| Danny Riley | 47 days | Still some tiny solid something behind it but doesn't hurt or affect stride anymore | details |
| Dehydrated | 48 days | details | |
| Nathan | 50 days | details | |
| zoolander | 52 days | basically 3 weeks until I could run again. Bad injury. Swelling lingered for over 6 weeks as did bruising which only appeared 3 weeks into it. Still have some soreness in upper quad but able to perform above 90% so we're back in business. No evidence of remnant lumps. | details |
| codymonster | 53 days | When muscle movement causes pain, wear spandex to damp the jiggling! | details |
| kensr | 59 days | Bruise turned into bone as calcium built up in the wrong spot. However, PT with repeated ultrasound caused the calcium to be reabsorbed and issue is satisfactorily resolved. | details |
| McGonagall | 70 days | Rest | details |
| Jõujõu | 86 days | Wont fall down any hills again. Will insist on doctors being thorough cleaning other wounds. If a bump appears, I'll go to a doctor right away. | details |
