Hubby has to take our son to violin lesson tomorrow morning. Maybe they can find some of the Arnica gel at our local natural foods co-op. I've never used it before. Is it ok to use over a large area, like left ribs and back? They have had me alternating extra-strength Tylenol with 600 mg Ibuprofin. That must be helping some because if I let too long go between a dose, I definitely notice it.

The doc also said that I must have landed very flat and the distribution of force was why I wasn't hurt anywhere else. Even as I was getting up and trying to catch my breath, I was counting my blessings. It could have been a lot worse.
