You know what benny that has been on my agenda for years and I have never got round to it 8)

Wickers in lycra doing yoga............well there's a picture for us )

Longy123...hope you have a great trip :D

There's nothing wrong with Lycra, in fact I'm sitting here now in front of the computer in my all in one Lycra suit ,,,,,,,,, MMMMmmmmm :wink:

OMG my computers just crashed :lol:

Modern stretch fabrics are a wonderful invention :D

I just looked at my previous posts and saw this thought I would give you an update.

I skied and was fine! Simple. lol

Thanks for the comments

Im no doctor but i have certainly had my fair share of sports injuries... So what i advise is keep moving on it. the worst thing you can do is sit and do nothing, this is when it becomes stiff and doesnt heel properly. Try and continue to do very moderate light exercise, cycling on a exercise bike but on the easiest setting dont push it. simple walks on flat routes. Ensure you have heat and cold packs to hand alternating 5 min sessions with each for about 40 mins each night, this helps the blood circulation which speeds up the healing process.

Clearly if doing any of the above is too painful then seek immediate professional advice, you say your a student and cant afford it but if you can try pay for private until the nhs freebie kicks in then this could and probably will make such a difference.

Thanks Crispy. I would just like to point you to the date that the thread was started. Where was you when I needed you a year ago. lol. I am sure that the information will come in handy seen as though I play a lot of sports and ski alot. Many thanks

It's always the knees, and it's always football...

I ruptured my right ACL playing football, had surgery on it a year ago. On Sunday I go for my first ski trip post-op.... hope it is all ok...

:oops: ha what a dumb ass i am....

Sorry i didnt see the date, thought it was a new post... oh well.... :lol:

Not always the football - did my ACL skiing - but did my first post-op trip back to Champery last year and off again in 2 weeks time - I am sure you will be fine - have fun

Thanks for the reassurance Kathy!

How long was it between your op and your trip to Champery?
