This time last week, I had a very strange and unlucky fall breaking my hip in the process. It's strange given that I fell off a slow moving bicycle and I am a healthy 32 year old male but I think it's how I fell. Was a simple case of turning too sharply, losing balance and my hip hitting the kerb first as my feet were strapped in. However going by this case, it appears it's not that uncommon jmedicalcasereports.com/conteĀnt/5/1/219
So far recovering very well, got a dynamic hip screw inserted holding the bone together, and am full weight bearing on crutches. Physio starts in a week and a half, and I think I should be able to start cycling from September.
Anyone else experienced this kind of break? How did you get back into cycling?
I could almost have written this, it's uncanny. So you were bearing weight fairly quickly. Interesting. I've been told no weight - but this could be because there are two breaks and I have osteoporosis caused by another condition. I have no desire to get on my bike any time soon. A walk to the end of my road would be amazing right now.
My outpatient appts start in a month - so 6 weeks after my fall. Seems like a long time!
