I did worry that the extra length would mean the arm may clash on something like the cam chain tensioner casing, but having offered it up without the anaesthetic still in the system, I reckon it will be good to go.A total of 18 stitches - as they dug into my left elbow and retrieved a trapped nerve as well (I think this had been like this since I hit a deer in 2014). Healing well - just trying not to do too much lol.
Glad your op went to plan, you just have to try and be a patient patient now .Merry Christmas.
Very glad to hear things went well and hope you have a lovely festive break
Glad your op went well and has been successful. Do you have to take it easy using your left arm for a while, or is it full gas straight away?
I finally got an appointment first week in April, but this was an assessment only. Remedial action looked to be towards July/August, with the hands slowly getting worse, right hand almost useless. So for the third time in 4 years, I coughed up and went private again. Seen within a week, cortisone injections in both hands on the day, left far better, right some improvement, appears to be improving slowly, but little chance off complete use returning as the index finger joint has dropped and is now misaligned. Now on the waiting list for a knuckle joint replacement. Not ridden now for a couple of months and tracktime seems a long way off, and the MOT ran out mid April

It does get tough when your body has got a few miles on the clock. When the weather forecast is favourable your head says “get the bike out”, whereas your body says “where do you think you’re going”.At 77 I’ve been fairly lucky in the past, overcoming any bike crash, footballing and running injuries with no lasting effects. However at this years Dragon Rally I fell down a bank whilst carrying a load of camping gear, causing severe ligament damage to my left hand and upper right arm. The upper arm damage is causing the most problem, so that taking pain killers is the only way I can get out and ride at the moment. Going to Le Mans the other week was a real challenge. The hospital seems to think it will improve “in time”, which is one commodity I don’t have a lot of.Hopefully your knuckle op will have you booking a track day at the earliest opportunity. Take care
Thanks darrsi I tried the link, got to the check out, but then had to order some other old tat to get to a minimum price order. So ordered from Amazon for less than the minimum, and will be here tomorrow.
Need to be careful with those massage guns, meant for use only on soft tissue. Id a calf strain from running a couple of weeks ago, so use done on the muscle and around the ankle and heel. Couldnt bear to put my foot down for a couple of days after as Id badly bruised the heel bone.On a slightly more positive note, I got the bike out toady and rode it to the bike shop for MOT, hopefully pick it up later with a pass. Hands till sore but its only a mile each way.
