Glad you finally got to see a good one, I take it you are now back to pretty normal then?
I have my doubt with the surgery, it sounds really complicated and don't fancy using anything from my own body for the reconstruction. I think there should be a law to make the person / people who casue the injury to have their tendons / hamstring graft for the injuried person. It's only fair, like in the old days, if you kill someone, you die. 1 life for 1 life = 1 ligament for 1 ligament. What do you think?
Oops, I think we are posing at the same time. I think I will try to get back on my bike in the next couple of days.

Sorry to hear that, DFP, I must admit that my treatment has been a little better than yours, only waited a month for the MRI, and physio referral only took a week.
Do you know what? All I really want is to be able to get back on my bike so I can kiss goodbye to the sodding bus, it's driving me nuts. I don't care for now if I can't do proper cycliing (was gonna do more long distance and start playing polo, decision was made around a week before the injury... :-( ). I just want to be able to commute, the longest I need is about 5 miles each time. I don't mind being a bit slow, anything is faster than the bus.
I really regret having listened to the docs advice, which was not to put weight and keep a knee brace on for unitl the had the MRI report, which was about 6 weeks. It fucking weaking my leg through and through. And when they found out I was actually doing it what I was told (I was seen by a different doc that time), they told me off as if it's all my fault that I kept the brace on.
But I guess what's happened has happened, a very hard lesson to be had.

Sorry for another pointless thread, but just want to know you experience with the NHS physio, coz I am not happy and after speaking to a couple of friends, I am thinking of having a word with someone at the hopsital. I am gonna see Michael hopefully next week, so it probably won't matter, but still, it's not the point, the point is I have paid my taxes and expect a little better. And they have wasted enough of my time to finally let me down. I could have gone private had I known they are actually a complete waste of time.
I have torn my ACL on 24 Dec last year and after all those fiddling X Y and Z, I finally got to see a physio 3 weeks ago, my treatment was meant to be extensive, but I have seen her twice, all she has done is to do the same exams, ask the same questions and show me more and more exercises to do at home without ensuring I can and will do all of those correctly. I am due to see her again in 2 weeks time which I probably won't be bother to turn up coz it's a complete waste of time. Once every 2 weeks to be told to do more moves I can easily find on google is not proper nor extensive physio to my standard. Is it just my physio or has the NHS actually gotten that cheap and bad? By the way, she is gonna want to refer me back to the ortho docs for surgery as soon as from my impression. Do they actually get paid more if they cut more people open?
Sorry for the moaning but I am getting more more angry everyday.

Job done.
I am aware of that, but I was told it's not a very good one??

Are Raynes Park or Putney any good, because I know a good one in each location.
Raynes Park is fine actually, just had a look at the train, and it only takes over 30 mins to get there. Could you tell me more, please?
Can you believe getting there from Camberwell is quicker then getting to flipping Elephant and Castle? It can take me up to 40 mins on the bus in the morning. I think I might try limping there tomorrow for uni, it might be quicker.
Cheers

Hi guys,
I am looking for a 20t freewheel cog for my new bike. Not really for polo but I was told I might stand a better chance asking people who play polo. I have got a 48t chainring and am recovering from a knee injury so the cog can only really be 20t+.
Looking at the token freewheel
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58054But it's quite expensive and would only get it if that's the only suitable one I could get my hands on.
Cheers

HI guys,
Did a quick search, can't find any answers hence the new thread. If there is an old thread around, please let me know.
As title suggested, I need a good physio. Long story short, I got knocked off my bike on Xmas eve last year and god bless the NHS, they had been dragging on too long with my treatment etc etc. Took them 6 weeks to finally tell me I have torn my ACL, well I knew it as soon as I heard the pop, and I didn't spedn 6 years in medical school... And then it's been a month now since I started the almost doesn't exist physio... I have seen the threapist twice and all she's done is to send me home with loads of exercises, all good but I need someone to make sure I am doing it right, a demo for 2 secs is just not good enough. Oh by the way, my physio is supposed to be intensive, forgive me if I am being stupid, but I don't think once every 2 weeks seeing them is anywhere near intensive.
So I have decided to use my hard earned saving to pay a good private physio, hence I would like some recommendation, please!
Cheers

Why won't they let her return it? If it's stil in the warehosue surely it's a very recent order. A friend of mine once order a sofa from DFS (have I got the name right?) and didn't like it, so she wanted to return it, they refused because they are A-holes. She then said she has got over 1000 friends on FB and eaach of them have over 1000 friends, so if they don't take the sofa back she will post a negative comment about the company on her FB wall every single day for 3 months and ask all her friends to do the same. And they took the sofa back... well... it was ummm... rather unusal... but worked.

Get it unlocked by O2 officially, your phone might be slightly more attractive. Just call them up and say you want to have it unlocked. It can only be done by the original ower because they will ask you stupid question like where and when you bought it.
