Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Another session with the physio today. My neck movement is a lot better, as is the pain. I also noticed least night that I've regained a lot of dexterity in my right hand that I didn't realise I'd lost.

Good news Nutz.. that'll help you with your alone time for sure!

Anybody got tips for relieving tightness and pain from hip flexors and top of the arse? Seriously uncomfortable today.

You may well have a slight/minor tear or two.... it's a common injury among cyclists.
Keep the weight off, Ibuprofen, & rest.

Might be brought on by not stretching before a ride?? I know you're supposed to do stretching before, and even after a ride, but to be perfectly honest I always felt like a right plonker standing in a parking lot wearing Spandex & doing stretches like I'm preparing for ballet class.

Especially when you left your bike at home

I've never liked stretching before exercise, I always found I got injured when I did. Static stretching post-exercise is definitely something I should do... but ergh! Will need to do some research on what to do for those stretches really.

I had a sniffle about 5 days ago, that has turned into a sinus/chest infection. I’ve done a RAT test every day and all 5 have been negative. I’ve woken up today with a massive headache and really chesty so think a PCR test might be in order

Let's hope it's just a cold

Couldn’t get in anywhere for a PCR yesterday, reduced hours on the weekends and a lot of places have stopped doing them now there’s been a move to Rapid Antigen Tests. But felt heaps better anyway, and better still today so what ever it was I’m getting over it.

I’m pretty certain after 5 negative RAT’s it wasn’t COVID.

Got a PCR today, negative

Even during a pandemic a virus doesn’t want me and I just get the garden variety

You're not missing out, trust me.

I'm still getting a stuffy nose and sore throat from time to time.

I had it early on and it was 6 months before I could take a deep breath without pain, you're not missing out at all.

Yeah I’m quite thankful it’s not despite the joke above. It would screw everything up here, kids starting back at school, Jess’ current nursing placements and me getting back to work next week.

Been in physio for about 3 months now , had an x-ray last week , got the results today, they confirmed that I have an arthritic hip .

What's the plan?

I have a referral to a clinic in Leicester , they will let me know what options are available to me , I'm hoping for surgery to get a replacement .

The Wife is exhausted and it's triggered another M.E. flair up. I'm heading home to relieve her and work as much as I can from home.

She's had about 3 hours sleep over 2 nights and 5 hours at most all other nights for the last week.

Off to the doctors tomorrow. While I haven’t got COVID I’m pretty sure I have a chest infection. Cough has got worse after two weeks of having it and I’m super breathless today.

Don’t think I’ll be flying to work on Monday at this rate.

Not really ails me at it's part of getting fixed, but had my first of three courses of shockwave therapy on my planter fascia.

It's a very odd feeling, like being punched inside. Really hoping it works as in 12 months of gone from being able to comfortably run 20 miles, to not being able to walk 3 without being in pain.

So I have a chest infection and bronchitis. So that’ll be at least a week delay to work.

That sucks mate, hope you move past it quickly

Anxiety and dwindling confidence
