2010 Disabled List

[marcski]

Sev....McKenzie Stretches. Google it. Start slow and easy. You will be doing them the rest of your life..daily. (and stop running and start biking also...daily!)

I agree McKenzies are part of my daily routine -- MY PT recommended them 2yrs ago and my back issues have greatly reduced

 

[Greg]

Did you pick up that awesome support belt?

Ha! No...surgeon says they are worthless....

 

[wa-loaf]

Gonna add those McKenzie stretches. My back has been really killing me lately. Too much time in front of the computer and in the car.

 

[meff]

Yup, no more running for me. Sucks because I love it. Back to the elliptical... and skiing when I can find the time.

Hey for skiing have you thought of a brace? I have a decent one my doc got me, it doesn't do a ton to help the arthritis but it does give it stability which helps.

Getting old and injured sucks, I actually tweaked my knee the night before this trip and its already acting up, I don't want to know how it will feel after a few days at Vail. (Part of the reason I'm getting a slow start today).

Greg, I sent a PM....there are some things that don't require public discourse. :>

Waiting till May....just keep an eye (and a hand) on "things". Don't let it get out of control...it could end up extending your recovery time.

I (due to circumstances out of my control) waited about a month too long and, speaking from that experience, highly recommend against it. :>

Losing (at least) 3 days to a head cold.

Came on Friday night, gf was already sick, so we bagged our weekend trip to loon.

Sinus pressure sucks right now, and I'm pretty tired as I haven't been sleeping well, so it looks like I'm going to have to bag my Stowe trip for tomorrow.

Disappointed to lose the opportunities, but at least it's just a cold and not an injury that keeps me out for longer.

Oh well.

I had my ACL recostructed 6 years ago and its held up pretty good but if I ski to hard and long the knee swells up. I have only been out once this year but considering I live in Myrtle Beach 3-5 times a year is good for me.

Injured list...

If there is an injured list here, put me on it .My hard lesson learned, keep speed under control while visability is down on the moguls .My punishment is no skiing for rest of season,surgery on left knee to repair damage after tibial plateau fracture heals, and not getting to use all the new gear we purchased two days before the injury until next season......

 

[frozencorn]

Ow. That sucks. Sorry.

 

[air0rmc]

Ow. That sucks. Sorry.

Thanks...Reality is setting in heavy this morning. It looks to be one of the best weekends yet this winter. I am starting the process of canceling our family trips and a mom and dad getaway. I guess it could have been worst though. I have not taken a blow like this for quite sometime....

 

[Warp Daddy]

Keep your chin up could have been a lot worse --- heal well

I blew my ACL this time 2 years ago. I was back on the slopes in December. Enjoy your summer and keep in shape for next season.

Oh no! That stinks. Worse than my ski socks stinks. Why couldn't this happen in the summer :sad:

Hopefully you are young enough that the healing happens fast.
Best Wishes.

Sorry about the bad news. There are a lot of members on here who have been through the same and came back with a vengeance. Good luck!

I shredded my acl, had a tibial plateau fracture, and a fractured fibula 3 years ago around this time (Feb. 11th, to be exact, 3 days before the Epic Valentine's Day storm, 6 days before a week-long trip to sugarbush and MRG) I had to cancel the trip, completely disappointing the wife and 6 year-old daughter.

Like Wa, I was back the following December. Just make sure you follow your PT advice.

Sorry to hear!

What are they repairing with surgery? Tibial Plateau Fractures put me out last year for 3 months (Dec. - March).

Thank You all so much for the words of encouragement,it really helps. Though I've pretty much been a lurker,I am allways inspired, enlightened and get my fix from the AZ. The fracture is displaced only 1mm and will not require surgical stabilization. There are no detectable tears in any ligaments at this time. The cartilage will most likely need an arthroscopic cleaning after the fracture heals.

 

[Greg]

Bummer. Hope you heel up stronger for next season.

Hernia is not an issue so I should be good to go for the rest of the season. I have this pinched nerve in my neck though. The most annoying part is it makes my scalp tingle when I turn my head to the right....
