Im 42 and had THR on my right hip 4 months ago. Was only home from hospital a few days when one my children decided to move my crutches. I got up off my chair to go get them, after a few steps my good leg was dead and gave way. All my weight was on my operated leg and I tried to turn back to grab onto the chair. Got bad pain in my knee. After my painkiller prescription ended my knee was still very sore.
Was sent for MRI and found out I had a meniscus tear and a previous PCL injury. Had knee steroid injection a week ago. Knee was feeling a good bit better so I decided to go for my first cycle in nearly 3 years yesterday. Was ready to give up on first hill I met as knee was starting to hurt again. But carried on and Im glad it did, knee was fine for rest of it. I managed to cycle 20 miles.
Knee and hip seem fine today. Only thing sore is my butt from the saddle.
