sandymere 8,263 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I'd agree likely "run its back off" rhabomyolysis. It means that a lot of its muscles will be damaged and break down. It takes time to regrow new muscle and the chemicals released by the dammge can harm the kidneys. Plenty of fluid to help flush the kidneys but keep it sensible as they can drink to much. Rest until pain etc settles, pain killers, then gradually build up exercise to regrow the muscles. Learn the lesson. Ps simple version for Joe. It be poorly 3 14 Quote Link to post
