Panadol osteo and voltaren 25 was pretty helpful for me.

What's the prognosis for recovery? Or do you have to hang out with Grandma's for a while?vander wrote:After trying many things I am in for surgery on my hip next Thurs.

Prognosis isnt too bad its an arthroscopy and possible he will reattach the labrum to the bone depending on how it looks. He said I will be fine with day to day activities within 2 weeks and probably back to pretty much fully functional in a month or so.ft_critical wrote:

@TLL: I have a feeling it will be a while till I am back to anywhere near what I was able to do before I have done less than 10x30min sessions since the accident. I am lacking any motivation to do any training at the moment knowing I will need more time off in a week.

If you don't, I will have to just track you down and give you a flogging with a pump.

Apologies, i missed out on you last updates. He did my knee, he did a very good job. You are in good hands there. When he did my arthroscopy I was back playing football within 3 weeks, running within 2. Take it easy, give it time for the swelling to come down and you'll be as good if not better than pre accident.vander wrote:Dr Andrew Strokon, he is a local guy did my Dad's knee and from what I have seen of him he seems to know his stuff.scotto wrote:Who's doing it Dan ??

Grechy had an accident while skiing he is back on the bike but not yet back to racing.Porridgewog wrote:Did wonder where you had disappeard to mate...whats happened to Mr too?Grech
Surgery was done last Thurs back to hobbling around. See him on Fri to find out what actually went down but he said he had to do more then he expected. I was given crutches post surgery which I used for a day or 2 but am not bothering with anymore.
Will update again after Fri. I am sure there is a light at the end of this tunnel......somewhere.

It was the hip but before starting riding I didnt think it was going that well and now I have started riding it actually feels better. Not 100% sure yet seeing how it goes day by day.Strawburger wrote:Great stuff!
