skiing and a bad knee

And he has the cheek to accuse me of being tetchy :lol:
I'm sending you good vibes so you never have the need to be involved in the knee problem discussions :wink:. Believe me, I wish I didn't have to be :roll:
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I like me new one!!!
Being an 'old git' new skier my knee problem was/is degenerative arthritis (old age) and last November I could hardly walk or bend my right knee. I followed a course of muscle strengthening exercises and went on an already booked week to St Anton in January. I feared the worst and expected this to be my last ever trip. My thighs ached, my calves ached, my back ached, my shoulders ached, but not a twinge from the knee. So I cracked in another 'last trip', to Sauze d'Oulx last week. Again no knee pain. So this week I am going to the doc to see if he will prescribe me a monthly ski trip on the NHS as a cure for my arthritis - reckon I'll get away with it ??
I think your new one is :thumbup:

carron, I know what it's like and it's no "walk in the park". But, you're getting there and all will be just fabby when you are up that mountain and skiing and that knee is feeling "just grand" :D Woohoo!!!
