Got sick while deep in my bike ride. Now I’m retaining water like crazy and my legs are unbelievably sore.

Gained 6lbs in two days.

I was doing my normal 32 mile ride and the I started feeling feverish and weak 17miles in. My last 15miles turned into a grueling effort ride. Checked my temperature, 100.7 when I got home. A day later, still running a fever. My legs are unbelievably sore. I can’t sleep due to the pain. I’ve rode centuries and I’ve never felt this level of soreness.

I go for long bike rides and water retention is not new to me but the pain combined with the fever and rapid weight gain has me worried. My body feels swollen and puffy. My legs and my abdomen are especially puffy.

The obvious answer is see a doctor. Which I am. I am having to wait a couple of days.

Any advice is helpful.
