Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Looks like i could miss the season due to a knee operation, can't decide whether to put it off until the summer of get it out the way now. Skiing vs Biking. Tough call. Sad

Can you time the op to get a little bit of skiing at the start of the season, then a bit of biking at the end of the summer?

SMALLZOOKEEPER, sorry to hear man Sad Surely just ski through the pain? Or is it that bad? Also, would it be an athroscopy? Cause you can walk out of the hospital the day of the operation with those ones.

How will the operation affect your work?

I don't know what employment you have in the summer, but if it is that you get almost all your income through the ski season then you'd have to put that first.

Tough one - but hope it goes well.

Ski.

Crawling around on the Footworks floor will hardly be good rehab post op - unless you'd be planning on putting your feet up & letting the minions do the work. Plus biking is usually recommended rehab isn't it (just maybe not the Les Gets WC downhill etc wink )

SMALLZOOKEEPER, bummer. Maybe an operation now would give you a full season reasonably fit on the MTB, rather than a slightly dodgy season on skis, and no MTB in the summer? Mind you, how would an operation affect you employment-wise?

Aargggghhh nasty ... get it done immediately and then get on with your life better than the 'Sword of Damacles' hanging over everything you do. Make 'Naked' work harder during rehab and do all the crawling around ... also will then be possible to say 'Look at me too', when 'Ugly' gets back to work ...

Genuine sympathy though.

PS ... shouldn't the 2nd part of the thread title be in the past tense ? wink

SMALLZOOKEEPER, if you had an op now how long would recovery be? Could you push for a week skiing in May-post op? Maybe then it would be worth it and get back into the biking aswell, or even head out to whistler june and do a little bt of skiing to get back into it and some mountain biking!! I just missed out on having an operation on my Posterior Cruciate Ligament-thankgod there was only a little damage! Hope all is well!

Go private? If you have the spare cash, i ended up going private for a consultant and scan (Mr Cartlidge was his name!!) and it was great, in all fairness cost the nicest slice of £100 but consultation, scan, results within 2 weeks, and if i neeeded an operation it would have been done same week, in all fairness it might have cost a bit1

Saw the specialist today, seams i've got nothing to worry about. 'Medial Ligament' damage is nothing and part of life in Cham'. My 'Bursitis' will disappear without trace and should stretch out more often.
What a fool! I could hardly walk from my car to the Hospital. Clearly, after he'd asked me to strip down to my pants and saw my massive packet, he thought everything has it's leveller and assumed it was nature's way of keeping us all happy. I'm off to my doctor tomorrow to ask for a second opinion from a Voodoo Priest.

Did he give you any exercises to strenghten around the knee etc??? If not I assume there is a good physio in Cham, would be worth seeing them. I had what seems like similiar problems due to playing lots of hockey. After physio and some exercises I'm pleased to say no more pain Smile
