After my bike crash yesterday, some of the bikers who helped me recommended I take a long bath in Epsom Salts, so it was the first thing I did when I got home. My road rash really hurt and I couldn’t believe the relief from the salts. Felt good to feel better, but now I feel like a Mack Truck just hit me: my neck and shoulder muscles.
Any recommendations besides HTFU or like my brother-in-law said, “Just S… It Up!”
I do believe a joke could help, too. I also kinda wish I could talk to the young lady who hit me: “What were you thinking!! Why were you going so fast in the rain.”
You sure they weren’t telling you to take some bath salts?
It’d certainly take your mind off the road rash for a while… 
LOL
If ingesting bath salts would help, I’ll do it, especially yesterday. I’m not good with pain.
Not sure about road rash, but epsom salt should help with swelling & relaxation…providing you can get over the sting of salt water on your owies.
Best wishes in the healing process.
The epsom salts really did help. I’ve only used them for sore muscles never thought it would help with scrapes and the relief was immediate.
I feel very lucky today, as I feel much better – the soreness in my neck is almost gone. I thought I would be hurting more today, since it was the second day after the accident.
The epsom salts are my new PD.
