 Speedy recovery mate!

I guess you're hurting but that's no reason to be wearing ankle socks.

 Nice one fella. Screwed for the time being because of the stirches in the rear of my meniscus, very little movement for a bit. Start rehab next week apparently, so just keeping the old calf stretched where possible.

 Been there too my friend! Same knee as well. You'll be back on the bike before you know it.

 it's a pain in the ass, ended up with a longer road to recovery than expected because my surgeon managed to stitch up the cartilidge (which is a good thing) rather than shaving it.

6 months and counting :-)

 It sure is, I was out for a nearly a year. Messed mine up real good! All because I didn't want to hit my nuts on my stem when I was riding my DJ!

 Been there also. Good time for rehab since winter is upon us. If you rehab properly you will be riding a lot stronger in the spring.

 That's the plan bro. Loads of physio and gym work for the next 6 months, once I get past this first few weeks. Glad your injury and recovery went well fella

 looks like ACL surgery?
  • 1 0
 Certainly was fella, ACL replacement and Meniscus has been stitched up

 had mine done about 8 years ago including the meniscus. One piece of advice, take the time that the professionals tell you that you need. I made the mistake of thinking I knew best as all seemed ok 3 months afterwards. Short story is I done it again playing football, needed another surgery and now just isn't right.

 I hear you fella, my mate had his done not that long ago, he's a DH addict and got back out on the bike after 2 or 3 months and snapped it straight away!

I'm dying to grace a footy field again, even if it is just for a game of 6-s-side or something. So I will be doing it right :-)

Plus I have trip to Morzine to look forward to next June, still reading reviews about the Solid Strike, can't make my mind up haha
