Well, as some have noticed, there hasn’t been much walking news on this site, due solely to my knee problems. Well, to keep people up to date, I went for my ‘final’ consultation yesterday which I hoped would explain why, 4 months post op, I still can’t walk more than 2 miles without knee pain. It didn’t with a ‘wait another 3 months’ and little more explanation.
Disappointedly, I resigned to maybe another year of no serious walking, but it motivated me to finally speak to another consultant in London. His secretary discussed my problem and was surprised the original consultant had not organised an MRI scan, especially due to my longer than expected recovery.
I have therefore requested my medical notes to forward on, and will hopefully make an appointment in the week before Christmas to hopefully get a 2nd opinion. That, and the latest TGO article on waterfalls in the Lakes is spurring me on to walking 2008.
Can’t wait!!!!
