Glad to read you are all better!

I am not sure why my offer to the OP of appropriate generic medical advice justifies your criticism. Valium is FDA-approved for treatment of muscle spasm; see the third paragraph under "Indications" in this document. It's been around for over 50 years, it is inexpensive, low-risk, and works well for situations like this for many of my patients. Of course, at this point, it's academic, but other cyclists with similar symptoms in the future may benefit from knowing this. Cheers.
