How to recover from injuries. Fast.
In September 2020 I broke my tibia and fibula in a really stupid accident in a car park. It was a right mess, and it took a good few hours of surgery and a load of metal to put it all back together again. For a few months I was in quite a bit of pain, but luckily (or not) I‘m used to injuries and by poor body was once again able to recover. I soon got back on my feet and put it all behind me. And it was a good job because I had a busy 2021; loads of racing including some British Championship MX, an International Rally and a 24 hour endurance race. Oh, and then a marathon to top it off.
I?m not trying to blow my own trumpet as I didn?t really think anything of it at the time but a few people have said they?ve been impressed with the speed of my recovery. When I do think of it, I suppose they?re probably right. As it happens, I?ve had plenty of injuries that haven?t hindered me for anywhere near as long as the doctors promised they would.
And I don?t think it?s luck. I don?t think I?ve been blessed with a body that can magically heal itself. But I have learnt some tricks after being in and out of hospital with various broken limbs. In fact, they?re not really tricks, they?re just common sense really, but I?m convinced they?ve helped me get back on my feet, back on my bike and living life to the full in double time.
I?m obviously not a doctor so please don?t mistake this for ?medical advice?, but here are a handful of things that helped me recover from injur...
