Hey Shiftzor, Do you do any leg exercises other than riding a bike? I would still ride as this will help blood flow.

Tight blood sugar control will help the capillaries, the smallest blood vessels do their job of giving the blood a pathway to the area and activity is probably helpful because I believe it helps increase overall bloodflow along with ramping up the body's systems towards its ability to regenerate.

Yes Scrach, Just as I was thinking the same thing.

Alica, Would that be Manuka honey? But I would keep up the bike riding and have some Manuka Honey with your flap jacks for breaky.

I play badminton which is a safer sport in terms of danger.

I will have to try some of the stuff suggested although I have tried savalon before, it’s great for travelling light and doing first aid in muddy/wet situations. Thanks for suggestions.
