Hi Jamie, I had this op last July and I'm not sure about 2 weeks on crutches, it should be two days then get some weight on it followed by simple stretches and strengthening. I was cycling in 2 weeks and running in about 6 to 8 weeks (carefully of course). I had a torn cartliage caused by a mishaped bone. The bone was ground down and a lump (probably scar tissue) removed from the cartliage. I wouldn't say that I'm 100% and have had many issues since surgery (ITB mainly) however, if you're damaged the op may need to be done. Given that it's keyhole you will look pretty normal (minor scars) very quickly but internally it's still an op and may take a while to heal. |

What are the consequences of the public bone being out of alignmen? The reason I ask is that I have awful ITBS following my hip operation and no amount of stretching, strengthening, foam rollers and strats make the slightest bit of difference. I am convinced that having had the hip dislocated in order to perform the operation there is some biomechanical issue that is causing me to overpronate and suffer in the ITB | |

I know exactly what you mean about just wanting to get out running. I would have settled for doing the club 10k handicaps but bailed yet again last night after failing to do an 8k trial run two days earlier. The cycling is a really good release though and I go with the local tri club on Saturday mornings (which is around 50 miles) Although I'm not up there with the group 1 riders, I do feel that I've been making good progress and the hip and ITB are fine. Swimming is also progressing well but it's pretty boring to be honest. There is no substitite for the running in my opinion but cycling is coming close and is keeping me in shape so if (and its a big if) I get my injuries sorted then I should have a good base to move on from. | |

I thought I'd rested enough to be honest. The one thing I'd like to try is the "Walt Reynolds ITB Special" excercise as it's supposed to be a good excercise to strengthen the hips but I just can't get to the bottom of the instructions Walt Reynolds ITB Special | |

No problem Colin, I really hope that it speeds up the process for you. I was so frustrated that I simply could not find out what on earth was wrong. | |
