On the drug front i was up to 6 Advil(ibuprofen) and 4 extra strength Tylenol a day. The pain with a totally shot knee during a flare up is in my case near suicidal. And not being able to walk for a month at a time is very depressing.
After surgery i was on Oxy and after 3 weeks i felt it did great on the surgical pain enabling me to push the limit during therapy and sleeping too.
But i was starting to panic as to what if doc cuts me off and found some old Oxy i hadn't used i was given when knee was bad over a year ago.
That's when i just stopped taking it. Now i know what an addict thinks and it's scary.
I am told i won't be able to run on the new prosthesis as they aren't made for that but i do enjoy hiking as much as trail riding and if the pain goes away all is good.
Marlin on the trail.
The Fuse different trail.
And yes when i raced my bikes never had that "dork" ring but i don't race and honestly if my chain goes into the spokes and damages them
Well it won't will it?
My Trek 6.5 Madone Pro when i transitioned from racing to riding centuries for fun. Fast is fun. Lol
