I follow you on Twitter and Facebook (and...Hi Mark,<br />I follow you on Twitter and Facebook (and here also) for quite long time and it is really sad to read about your hips' problems. I would write you a simple "don't give up!", but I know the topic of strange health issues so well so I hope my experiences may turn out helpful.<br /><br />I had just finished to read this post (it is from February, but, you know, long time ago I had lost the hope that you will ever write here something again!) and previously I had seen your update on Facebook. I wanted to write that you should go to some good physiotherapist rather than a doctor, even the best doctor in the world. They are always seeking for problems, and physiotherapist are more likely to search for solutions. <br /><br />The second thing - I don't know if you had already try it, but if you didn't, I would strongly recommend you to do a bikefitting session. Sometimes even small changes in a rider's position may cause some huge differences in riding comfort - and of course work well for his health. I know something about it, as I had some serious problems with my spine (L4/L5) and my MRI score was so distressing that I thought I will never been able to compete. These days I had been riding quite a lot and sometimes I could barely get off my bike and I was almost crying from pain. <br /><br />In my case going to a good physiotherapist and a bikefitting session was a really rewarding solution. Now my spine feels bad only when I consciously fail to remember about "gold rules" about everyday living with "my poor spine". <br /><br />So once again, don't give up. I am sure you will find a way to get out of this issue and race again. <br />Cheers!<br /><br />Joanna Skutkiewicz / ioannahh<br /><br />ioannahhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677155766321483761noreply@blogger.com
