I walked very slowly and used my sister-in-law\u2019s shoulder in the steep sections, always keeping my foot flat.<\/p>\n<p>However when we got home I found I could not put any weight on it at all.

I was keeping well- hydrated so there were frequent bathroom breaks.<\/p>\n<p>I also used arnica cream topically and arnica homeopathic pills orally 3 times a day.<\/p>\n<p>It was pretty painful that first day so I also used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/how-best-to-use-the-amino-acid-dpa-for-easing-heart-ache-weepiness-comfort-eating-and-a-compulsive-desire-for-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DPA<\/a> (d-phenylalanine), an amino acid which is great for physical pain. I also decided to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/much-gaba-use-gaba-product-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GABA<\/a>, a calming amino acid\u00a0 &#8211; this helped me relax and feel calm, sleep better and I suspect it helped ease some of the muscle stiffness and the pain too.<\/p>\n<p>By the next day I was able to walk very carefully and 2 days later I was walking with almost no limp.
