10'6".......  seemed a little lower because it was so wide  (for those days).

Nick, I remember you taking some hard hits relearning cancans too.

Ouch.

There's a lot of really shit doctors out there..... I find it hard to trust any of em these days   :(


I went to see THE top knee specialist in Glasgow after I wrecked my ACL, late '80's, and he examined it and said it was a normal knee!!!!
I suffered it locking up, folding up, (often during a comp. run!), lots of pain etc. before my local hospital got an MRI scanner a few years later.
"Mr Forsyth, you have a torn ACL and extensive tissue damage..."
Er...........ye-ah! Duh!

It still goes on now.....  I went to my GP for a referral to a private surgeon a few months ago after they'd already diagnosed a torn ACL and two lots of fooked cartilages and the 'doctor' said  'I refuse to believe that anyone who can walk into my office has anything wrong with their knee.'

twat.

I've carried it for donkeys years and learned how to compensate for it, but the quack just wasn't interested.

Hows your knee now?

I think the op has worked, and I've got the muscles back up to strength, but won't REALLY know for another few months. Still can't go snowboarding for a couple of months - although I could do the boarding, a crash could wreck it. Esp. if I caught a toe edge - ouch! Weathers been too crap to test it out on the bike much - a backside boneless will give it a good test! Back at work - bit of joinery - from last Monday. A few grumbles but seems to be holding up.......

And I know EXACTLY what you're saying about compensating for it for years. My fiance is a physio and her friend is the physio that checks me out and reports to the surgeon that operated on me. He said he's amazed that I've been able to ride and snowboard with the amount of damage I had.

I reckon there's a few of us on here that are much the same.....

I'm sure there is.  I'm sure we're all walking round with badly healed injuries that we never got properly sorted. I know my shoulders aren't right....

Backside boneless...... jesus, I can't even imagine trying one of those at the moment!  Even the thought of it makes me twitch slightly  :-[

Glad to hear you're nearly there though   :daumenhoch:
