Roxy's out

[Roxy]

As you all know I don't ride my bike during the winter because it's too cold, too wet, too frosty, too snowy, too much crap on the roads and any other excuse I can find!! ;D Well I have been looking forward to the 1st March for a few months now to get the r6 back out for the Spring.

The little fella and I have just returned from Switzerland where we were skiing. He did really well, as always, but his old mum fell awkwardly and is now out of action for a little while.

Medical term is a tear in the MCL in left knee if that means anything to anyone??? :-/ ;D lovely hinged brace for me and I am afraid no Biking for a little while. Doc says no op is needed just physio so I hope I wont be out for too long.

I'm looking for lots of sympathy, lmfao.

ah bless ya. Sorry to hear that Rox, hope that things will sort soon for you. Got my sympathy.
On the bright side. Would you like me to take care of your bike for a while? :
I can even pop round and massage you leg for ya
See ya soon, and if there is anything you need, just holler.xx

Poor Dear!!!! LMAO

No seriously, get well soon chick! x

[Bonnielass]

Sorry to hear this Roxy, sounds a bit worse than my finger!! :

Ouch!
medial collateral ligament is on the inside of the knee and there are 3 grades of injury, I'm guessing because they've given you a knee brace it's either grade 2 or 3, if it's 3 you're looking at 6-8 weeks, are you on crutches? If not then hopefully you're a 2 and you're looking at 3-4 weeks.
Rest, ice, elevation and anti inflammatories will help healing process. (thanks to my cousin who has frequently done her mcl for this info!)
Hope your recovery is quick Roxy

Sorry to hear that Kirsty Hope it's not too painfull as I did the same thing only not skiing the other year and was on crutches for 2-3 wks then rested with anti-inflammatory cream for a further 4-5 wks

Was bloody painfull at first but it soon subsides, also I found sitting with a heat pad over the affected area helped loads

Take care hun xx
