I fractured my pelvis 3.5 years ago (april of 2000). I also had a massive head tramau, and my inability to walk was blamed on the head injury. It was about 9 months later that the fractures were found and another 9 months after that before I really was able to ride and run again. Eighteen moths before riding again!!! Here I am 3.5 years later and still struggling, things like tying my shoes are very hard, running is something I can do for 2 months and then all of a sudden it hurts so bad I am back on crutches....a few months off and I can run again. But the cycling has stayed with me....I love my bikes and they are teh only thing keeping me sane.


My advise: go easy in all aspects to allow for more riding time. Swim when even riding doesn't help. Don't give up and stay in therapee.

If I am struggling this bad to come back from a crash that happened to me as a 23 year old (27 now) I really wonder how the old ladies ever recover!
