Sorry to hear the news. As long as you are back by spring, no worries 'cause that's when the fun REALLY kicks in! Here's to a speedy recovery!

That sucks.

Bummer Greg. A friend on EpicSki had to deal with this a few years ago(or at least something similar to this)
Check out this thread for some possible advice on skiing with this type of injury.

Greg sorry to hear bout the injury -------------------------i think you are WISE to get it done pronto ! Skiing bumps would be very sketchy until you get it fixed . You're young strong and have all the motivation you need to HEAL WELL .. Hey man u'll be back and who knows maybe we can turn ya into a GS racer

Hang tuff

 

[jrmagic]

That sucks. I think its wise to sideline yourself with that kind of injury though.. at least until you can talk to someone who you have confidence understands the biomechanics of skiing. Good luck.

And to think yesterday I was complaining about a sore back. (better today) Rest up and heal up. I'd opt for rest too if it mean't returning for March.

Sorry to hear that Greg. It's interesting, I don't know anyone sidelined for injuries or Medical issues this year. And Warp is back! I've only seen one person sledded off the hill to an ambulance this year, at that was at Wawa. (no not the store!)

Not hearing much about ski injuries this season which is a good thing. But I figure I'll start it off. Saw the doc today and he confirmed my suspicion. I have a direct inguinal (groin) hernia. The weird thing is I really don't know how it happened so while not a ski-related injury per se, I'm pretty sure it's going to sideline me for a bit.

Doc gave me the clearance to ski, citing that skiing, by his definition, is not going to cause much of an issue, but knowing how I ski, I've decided to sideline myself for a bit. Going to see the surgeon this week to discuss options. Hopefully, he'll be a bit more skiing aware. If surgery is on the table, I think I'm going to opt for it ASAP in hopes of salvaging March onward. I think otherwise, I'll be skiing very conservatively for the rest of the season, and what fun is that?

No real pain, aside from what's in my head. This is bullshit. But it is what it is, I guess. :x

Stay healthy everybody.

Do what you think it best. After all you have to live with it. Good Luck

Sorry. Get well soon.

 

[Greg]

Thanks for the support everyone. Seeing the surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully there is a non-surgical option. I got the impression from my doc it wasn't that serious.

there's so much in here to have fun with but out of respect for your injury, i'll leave it alone. :razz:

seriously, short term loss for long term gain is probably the best way to go. You gonna come out and heckle at least for the january comp?

Greg,

I was diagnosed with a hernia right before Christmas (and participated in the Epic thread posted above). After talking with several doctors, I'm putting my sugery off until after Spring Break. While my surgon said he would place no limits on my activity after surgery, I've been told that it would be much better to wait until after ski season to have operation. The risk of postponing is lower than the risk of trying to get active too soon.

Everyone's experience is different, but I'm able to spin, do light weight lifting, and skiing with no problems. In fact, skiing is the least taxing activity, even bumps.

Good luck.

I purposely left the term "bulge" out of my post for a reason... :lol:

I actually haven't totally discounted the January comp. Just depends what the surgeon thinks. It will also depend on conditions that day. Either way, of course I'll be there. Might even try to work in some sort of participation as a starter, or judge or something. AZers get an instant handicap.

Good point! I'll have to bring that up tomorrow. Maybe all I need is one of these nifty things:

:-o Looks pretty kinky. Wonder what my wife will think. :lol:

Bummer Dude! Better to fix now rather than later. I wondered last year if I didn't have something like that. As far as injuries, getting an X-ray Monday of my ankle/lower leg for a problem caused when my knuckle-dragging friend ran into me at high speed at Mt. Snow last month.

A friend had his surgery the day before Christmas, the Doc told him two weeks. 16 days later he was on his board doing great. He said he was going to take it easy that day but that was the day Sunday River opened up Tin Woodsman so he didn't exactly take it easy.
