    Hi poppet, no I haven't seen my surgeon yet but I have been to my gp who sent me for X-rays and ultrasounds. Everything appears to be ok I'm just a bit tender and very bruised!

    I guess because I have felt so well and can walk now better then I have in probably the last 5 years I'm taking for granted that I should just be able to do things and not have pain. I will heed your advice Jo and take it easier. Thank you all so much, goodness knows where I would be without...

    Thanks Jamie and sandy, it's reassuring to come here and know that everyone understands what your dealing with. Sandy today was a work day but I called in sick and took myself off to the doctor. He confirmed that is muscular and to take it easy for a few days! He has suggested an anti...

    Newbie just saying hi.

    Just thought I would pop in and say hello.....I have been back at work 2 weeks now (this week is my third week) and I'm now back to full time which is amazing as I hadn't been physically capable of full-time work for over a year prior to surgery. I do find I still have bad days, days where...

    Hey Donnie, So pleased to hear you are doing so well, my work colleagues said the exact same thing about the pain face. I use to try and plaster a happy face on each morning but apparently I didn't do it well where as these days I can't stop smiling :) Sandy was spot on in saying we go back...

    Newbie just saying hi.

    Thanks Sandy, I agree there is a definite advantage to working for the comm govt, they have been nothing but 100% supportive. Prior to my surgery I had taken very little personal leave....didn't matter how much pain or how bad my leg was I would just get up and go to work with a smile on my...

    Newbie just saying hi.

    Thanks Cathy,I am looking forward to getting back to work....just having some sort of normality in my life again will be great. No we are not meant to compare progress and everyone does heal differently but I do understand, it's very hard not to in this situation! I don't mean anything...
