I thought Sunday would be a great day for an early trundle to Scarborough on the GTS, it was a warm night and dry. I duly set off at 05:30, happy days I thought. Two miles later I was wriggling around a bit and uncomfortable. I though I'd ride through the pain and carried on. I pulled off the M62 at Howden and I was not happy but I was determined to carry on, after all a bacon sarni and a coffee were calling! A few miles the other side of Howden I realised I was really not concentrating on the ride, I was in some discomfort so I turned around and headed home, I'd done around 25 miles at this point. I've never had to terminate a ride before so I was sad at this point but safety rules the day. I got home OK but very sore, the old Farmers were glowing and I was not happy! Off to the bathroom to apply the soothing ointment, that was the point I suffered a ''click'' in my arthritic hip and I spent the rest of Sunday in agony. I could barely sit down, when I managed it I could barely get back up again. The afternoon was spent in a drug filled haze, prescription of course, I managed to fall asleep on the recliner for two solid hours. All in all a very unpleasant day and I am still feeling the aftermath today.

Sounds like time for a nice convertible car

That sucks - hopefully you’re on the mend - take care

blimey hope you heel up soon maybe fit a seat cover with extra padding ?

Ibuprofen jell works well for joint and mussel pain, treat the point of pain
not the full body but not for the piles.

I'd wack some gel on the piles!! it is an anti inflammatory.

I got some suppositories but after a week of swallowing them I'm no better. I may have well shoved them up my arse.

The suppositories from IKEA are just as bad. You have to put them up yourself.

Well it's good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour!
