I am long distance runner of 37 years and about 75000 lifetime miles. I also
ride a bike and that is my problem. Out riding exactly 26 day ago and hit an ice patch. Land on hip and long story, short broke at hip top of femur. It was not displaced and had surgery the next day 3 screws pinned. Dr said I would be off work 6 weeks and he thought I had a good chance to recover. Well I walked 3 hours after surgery went home the next day on my own power no walker or anything. After 4 days I climbed on my indoor bike trainer and have been fine with this. Riding about 75 minutes a day good cadence no pain. I really did not take any paid meds after about 24 hrs post op. Doing my own therapy the PT said I was way ahead since I already did many the same exercises daily. I do have a bit of a limp and now my repaired leg is a bit longer wearing a lift. Went to the dr 3 weeks post op and he says I am going fine just do not push through pain. Let me return to work and will see him in 6 weeks. I can walk and have plenty of endurance of course but has anyone here had to deal with anything similar. I am 54 years old and have in the past had 1 pelvic stress fx 24 years ago just rested and got better. Right now I am just wonder about running and being able to return, as well as just the slight limp as I need to let things all heal. Deacon Mark Cleary Epiphany Roman Catholic Church |
