Can I give more? The answer is usually yes

Sorry to hear that Tang - it must be a frustrating time for you.

Sorry to hear about the hip tang. Hopefully you can get it sorted soon

SamforMayo

Hope you are on the mend soon, bad enough that you can't run but when it's effecting everyday live it's a right dose.

RedRunner

Not good B. Sorry to hear that. What's the physio been saying so far? Sounds like MRI might be the way to go here to see exactly what's going on under the bonnet.
You've had a real dose of bad luck these last couple of years.

They said it was a pelvis alignment issue, the hip has gotten worse since i started seeing them & i've started getting the odd pain in my back. I wont be going back again, think MRI maybe the best thing to see whats 'going on under the bonnet' as you say.

You seem to be plagued with bad luck.
Hope it clears up for you and you're back on the roads soon.

Tom Joad

Jaysus Tang if it wasn't for bad luck you've have no luck. Hopefully you get to the bottom of this and you get it sorted soon. You deserve a break injury wise.

Murph_D

Sorry to hear of your continuing hip probs, B. Hang in there and get to the bottom of it.

I would definitely ditch that physio and get a second opinion. I had the same experience with a well renowned phsyio and it cost me a fortune, he sent me for an MRI eventually and it turned up all clear (cost me the guts of €1000 though :rolleyes:).
Turned out to be a muscular issue that was relieved with a bit of massage. If you know of a good Sports or Physical therapist in your area I would go there before booking an MRI, they tend to be hands on than a traditional physiotherapist. In Dublin i would recommend Ciaran Fitzpatrick or Ecoli, I am sure there are good guys in meath too though.

The thing about the physio i was seeing is i told them where the pain or discomfort was located but not once did they massage or manipulate that area, they just concentrated on my lower back area and worked there. Now i'm far from an expert on these things, but i thought maybe massaging/rubbing the affected area would be the first place to start to see what/where the problem is.

I would recommend that you try Mark Kenneally in Celbridge. Great interest in running injuries and I found him to be wonderful for a hip problem that I had.

yes, I was going to actually suggest Mark. I have heard very good things about him too. Main thing is to get a second opinion before shelling out for an MRI

That's funny. When I was getting the rub down after the AR on Saturday I told the guy who was doing it thatI was having trouble with my left hip. He stood me up, examined my hips, told me the right one was 'tilted anteriorly' and that I needed work on all the muscles on the right side :rolleyes:

Mark is really good, with a great interest in running injuries and is also a very nice guy too. No point in wasting money on someone you have little faith in, been there before!!

Cheers lads, i'll see if i can get an appointment with Mark Kenneally so.

Bit late to the party but another vote for Mark Kenneally - was with him a few times this year and he is really thorough and knows his stuff.

FBOT01

Just catching up now. Sorry to hear that you are not on the mend yet. Hopefully it turns out to be something straightforward and you can get it sorted soon. Keep the faith!

pconn062

Can't believe you're injured again Tang, really rotten luck. Not much I can say apart from I hope you can get back on the road soon.

tang1

Update - have a stress fracture in both my hips. Thems the breaks, could be far worse, all i can do is be patient and let things heal. Nothing else can be done with stress fractures only rest, no running for 4-6 weeks, no training of any kind for at least 4 weeks. Hopefully be back chasing my self come New Year, adios from here till then.

Duanington

Best of luck with it Tang - hope to see the log re-ignited before too long

Ososlo

Good luck with the recovery B. Look forward to reading of the comeback really soon.

ThebitterLemon

Jesus that's desperately unlucky. Hopefully you make a quick and full recovery. Never heard of someone getting an injury like that, either you're running style is worse than mine, or you were doing Elvis pelvic twists at the weekend

Seriously, puts a bad race into perspective, at least I can still run.

Best of luck Tang

Sorry Tang, that sounds serious. How did it happen, do you reckon?

Possibly compensating with my running stride after coming back from knee surgery. It put more pressure on my hips resulting in the stress fractures.

Pacing Mule

Ffs - thats a real downer there mate. Really sorry to hear that.

RedRunner

Sorry to hear this B. Jaysus we should set up a support group you and I.

Hopefully the rest will allow you to heal up well. That is so unlucky. Good luck and hopefully bump into you on the comeback trail in the new year.

Cheers R, pair of geriatrics we are alright. Hopefully we'll be back running strong come new year. Hope your recovery is going well. Plenty of core stuff!!

FBOT01

Bummer B. Sorry to hear about your setback. Hopefully you will be back on the comeback trail in the New Year. You and your Ma can recover together. I hope she is on the mend at this stage. Take it handy.

Thanks M, shes recovering well thankfully the wrist is whats giving her most bother, thanks for asking.

Tom Joad

Tough break tang. You have had rotten luck with injuries lately. Hopefully this is the end of it. Mind yourself and you'll be back stronger soon.
