Help needed to keep sanity

[SpokeyDokey]

Sorry to hear about that.

Not what you want to here but I dislocated my shoulder climbing in 2003 and it took years before I could put any real pressure on it and I stopped riding my bike.

A good physio will be able to help strengthen the surrounding mucles - this is what I should have done but didn't!

The physio has said to strenghten the muscles around the schoulder. Havnt really started the physio properly yet, going to hit it next week. Thnaks for the message.

The recovery will be a long slow grind. I dislocated my shoulder last July - not bone breaks just a dislocation. I am about 70%/80% there with the recovery. I an cycling again but would not like to fall on it just yet. More good days than bad now. So take it steady and pace yourself.

PS I am 53 so my rehab is a 'little' slower than when I was in my teens

Any news about your progress? We always like to hear about the pain and suffering of others here...................

Uh oh.

Hi Guys,

Recovery is still very slow, cant really put any weight through it as yet so cant even really make full use of the trainer Whiskywheels kindly provided. I have got to have a further operation to remove some dead bone from the ball at the top of the shoulder and to graft some living bone from my hip. The operation is relatively simpe but means more time off work and starting from scratch on the physio. Sorry for not being more active on CC but i think I had enviSaged getting back on the bike a lot sooner than I will do and comming on here sometimes reminds of that fact and is upsetting.

Thanks for all your messages, I willl et you know how the op goes at the end of May.

Cheers Cocheese

Sorry to hear the latest news on your recovery is more complicated than expected Cocheese. Slow and steady is the way to go!
Do keep us up to date on your progress and don't be afraid to have a moan to us when ever you feel the need.
There is usually someone around that not only can offer an ear, but, some may have some first hand experience of your ongoing fight back to normality.
All I can offer I'm afraid is a big virtual for you. Take special care of yourself and good luck for a full recovery...........eventually.

Hope you had the end of May op and all is starting to look better now? We're off cycling up Mont Ventoux in a couple of days...........just think, this time next year you'll be able to do the same!

Hi Whiskywheels,

The op was a success and I am just starting physio again. Its been really hard over the last couple of weeks with the weather finally getting better, however just to add insult to injury i have gone and torn my MCL ligament in my right knee running up the stairs at home so i am now on crutches, which are difficult to use due to my shoulder !!!!!!

I am haning in in there just about, just focusing on getting back on the bike. Hopefully next year I will be joining you taking in the mountain air !!

Thanks for the support Whiskywheels !

Have a great time and stay safe !!

And so it came to pass...........................some time later............................you've gone off with the loan of my turbo trainer, clearly declared as a loan, or purchase for £20 for charity...................and promptly disappeared.

What an peanut.

 

[User269]

From my pm March 2013;
Hi Craig, yes that should be OK. I'll wait to hear back after you've seen the consultant.
If you wanted to buy the turbo it would be £20, payable to the charity of your choice, but of course you're welcome to just borrow it.

The trusting global community of cyclists eh?
