Thanks Karen. That's interesting that you were put on an exercise bike following your op. Graham (hubby) didn't get that, in fact, as far a I know (this happened before we met) he got some physio then was just dismissed. He couldn't work, could hardly walk, couldn't sit or lie comfortably. He went to the local swimming pool and spotted an advertisement from a professional masseuse who specialised in sports type injuries or post-op injuries. A few sessions with her and he'd got full mobility back again. This happened about 15 years ago and I think physio at our hospitals is a lot better now than it used to be. He's very careful how he lifts things but so far hasn't had much problems - the occasional twinge and that's about all.

He's going to need to try different bikes and different positions to find one that's comfortable.
