Hi!
About an hour ago, I wrecked my mountain bike when I hit an unavoidable patch of snow and ice. My bike went out from underneath me and I landed on the left side of my rear. While I felt that pain most on the remainder of the ride down the mountain to my house, when I got off my bike I noticed that my back is in pain. I must have torqued it pretty good in the fall. The pain radiates from my spine around to my left side so I'm guessing I strained the muscles pretty good. Usually I put ice on things I hurt (knees, shoulders, etc.) but is it the same for the big muscles in your back? Do you ice it first and then go to heat? It seems counterintuitive somehow.
