[Closed] Physio or Doctor Advice Please: Comminuted Fracture of the Left Humerus
Any expert advice welcomed please (don't fall off again is already noted :-):
13 Oct: Fracture ocurred on Marin Trail
21 Oct: Finally operated: Open reduction, Philos plate
22 Oct: Discharged and physio commenced (pendulum exercises only)
01 Nov: Secondary complications (indirect, emergency readmission to hospital), all physio stopped due to incapacity
08 Nov: Physio re-commenced (pendulum exercises only)
09 Nov: Discharged from hospital.
21 Nov: "Propper" physio started
My Physio is a mountain biker and understands my desire to get back on the bike asap and she seems to know what she is doing. Nonetheless I would appreciate any advice as the necessary delay to physio has left me with a lot of muscle wastage and I am concerned at how long it may take to recover reasonable function. e.g. I cannot yet move my left hand from gear lever to steering wheel (but could lift it there with my right hand). I am 50 years old BTW. If anyone has had similar op, how long did it take you to get back to tackling the same old trails?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
