Re: [RC] getting pulled , short story, long weekend - Maggie Mieske

When my knees start bothering me (actually nowadays at the very beginning of
the season), I take MSM for myself.  Makes a huge difference.  Only you know
how much you can tolerate.  I did my first 100 only a couple of weeks after
tweaking my left knee extreme bowling... it swelled up and pained me big
time.  I wore a knee brace during the ride which helped and took lots of
ibuprofen (and the occasional Vicodin) and made it through and had a great
time.  But I also am too stubborn at times and have a high tolerance for
pain.  What does Angie say?  If you're gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough.
I'm actually relaxing that philosophy nowadays.  :)  I want to be riding
when I am REALLY old and grey!  But you know what you can handle (or not).
The MSM nowadays makes all the difference for me but some people can't
tolerate it.  I take 1000-2000 mg a day.  Good luck whichever you decide to
do, the 50 or 100.
