Happy :)

Yesterday afternoon I was finally able to go out for a nice little ride. A short 14 miles - but NOTHING HURT. During OR later OR this morning
I was also pleased to note that even though I was spinning in an easier gear than normal for me to help protect my leg, I do not seem to have lost much in the way of bike strength I did not clip in, and I missed that.
Only 2 more PT visits left, and I've come a long ways in the last few weeks. Now I need to step back from the bike for at least a few days so I don't re-injure my leg. It seems to me that this is a real danger for me right now, knowing me

The PT has cleared me for lower-body strength training, but my trainer is not comfortable with this just yet. I am listening to him and waiting.

+ 1 million. And listen to your body. Next time something starts to hurt, promise that you'll seek the advice of a professional sooner rather than later. Originally Posted by tulip

Surely you knew that chronic pain is a warning sign, or maybe I'm not following you.... Originally Posted by Catrin

It was not consistent - and in the past such things went away on their own if I backed off a bit... No sharp pain, just warmth and achy pain rather than sharp pain that became worse over time. I am stubborn Originally Posted by indysteel

Yeah, taking it easy and ramping up slow will be hard, I KNOW me
The alternative isn't pleasant however, so I will do it!

Sorry - I'm new so I don't know your injury. But now I'm worried . . . . Do you mind a quick rehash?
