When I had physiotherapy for my lower back, I was told to feel the stretch but not to the point of pain. I had appointments twice a week and did 45 minutes of exercises every day at home.
After decades of back pain, I was cured in three weeks. After that if I woke up stiff a 60 second stretch at the kitchen sink was all I needed.
I was good for years, until I had to pull Miss Piggy up from a sandy embankment beside a rural back road. She decided to take a nap after I stopped to free a vicious bee from inside my jacket. After being stung twice I had failed to put the side stand down before removing my gear. Two visits to my physiotherapist and a week of exercises and the pain was gone.
THANK YOU ALL for well wishes and wise PT advise.
Operation went well, but took surgeon an extra hour due to severe damage to my knee.
Hope, he installed all OEM HONDA parts for flawless operation
Spring is the best time for my recovery, so even if I miss 1 month of motorcycling, I will catch up with longer trips later on
Now, as most of you said: keep exercising and bending new knee = totally agree...never mind the f...g pain
Will get back to normal Forum activity soon...and see you on the road again
ALL have happy and safe
Hang in there PB, we are here if you need a laugh. Heal quickly my friend.
Great to read to are checking in and doing well PB.
PB with the Ontario weather the way it is, our riding season may be much like last year. So you won't miss any enjoyable riding until June.
Just make sure you always make time for your daily PT exercises. I always did mine in the morning so I had the rest of the day to do what I wanted.

If I may ask, what was the severe damage due to? Accident or damage suffered over time?

to Ferret: jokes and laugh are always welcome...
to GO: carful, I was operated at Toronto Western on Bathurst..and saw old knee travelling through the window...and rolling down to Lakeshore area, just in case if you find it: NO need to return it
to Pdedse: as an teenager had a motorcycle accident with L-thigh double fracture, knee smashed, tissue and bone infection, as an initial damage, and then over four decades of exploitation further degeneration...
One of my family doctor said that he's never seen so damaged knee in his 47 year of practice...but now is all sparky new
Missing Houtman's 8 sponge nurses, can you here me John????
:
Sponge baths done in the knee area is less exciting than being sponged in the prostate area !
For either of those problems, we have leeches available in the castle infirmary. Jus sayin...
