Yes, so, I ride horses. Every so often (like every couple of months), I get some bumps and swelling (from all the rubbing I guess). Normally dime/quarter sized, kinda painful, sometimes red, and I can normally walk and ride fine. After a few weeks, they go down, and all that's left is a very small painless bump.
Well, this time it's very swollen. About an inch to an inch and a half, but wide and long, ect. Now, it was this bad once before and eventually it went down.
But it's all red, and I'm having trouble walking comfortably. And I just forgot about riding today and just walked her around.
I think it might have gotten bigger... Anywho, I've taken Benadryl, tried ice (20min on, 10 off), and even tried soaking in a cold water bath (not fun, by the way :-) ) for a few days, and it's not doing anything at all.
Now, I'm assuming it'll come down like usual in a few weeks (although it is worse than usual), but I have a show on Sunday, and I really need to get back to riding.
Any thoughts?
(This probably won't help anything but just incase, I have messed up hips (hip dysplasia) and loose joints all over)
Thanks in advance...
