Couldnt have said it better.

Nope, it won't be fun. Mine was a gradual issue from so many ankle sprains loosening up the ligament. The final straw was one good pop I had while running and it went down from there. I tried to put off surgery but it got progressively worse and did more damage. I tried to jog a little the other day at the gym and it was a no go. So I am still stuck on the bike.

Which amazingly gives a decent cardio workout...I do 60-75 minutes and can get 15-20 miles done a day.

Good luck and make sure you find a solid surgeon.

Hurt my back when I was in the military. It hurts throughout the year but for whatever reason once September/October rolls around it gets really bad for a week or two. Regardless of what precautions I take every year around this time it's a bother. I've been laid up in bed for the past 2 days, took today and tomorrow off. Finally got back on my feet today. All I have to say is pain killers are incredible. I can't imagine being hooked on them because I hate feeling dopey but they make this whole process tolerable.

Whatever you say, Brett.

I haven't been into work in over a week, working from home makes it easier, but i'm waiting on farging Aetna to approve my MRI.  Ortho Surgeon i saw last thursday thinks i tore ligaments on both sides of my ankle, needs the MRI's for his gameplan.  I have 0 pain killers and survive on liquor and beer.

Nothing says "functional healthcare system" like having to wait for someone to approve necessary treatment.  Hell, this isn't even treatment.  It's an exam to determine what type of treatment you need.

If Aetna can't get it done, just imagine how bad it would be if he was on Medicare.  He wouldn't get an MRI for two months!

With Obamacare, it will take six months, and he'll pay more for it!

And he'll have to watch his parents killed in front of him.
Also, Obama is an arab-nazi.

I have an inguinal hernia that has grown and is causing me discomfort on the regular. Going to have it surgically repaired in a few weeks.

No, I am not posting pics.

Iguana Herpes is no laughing matter.

Got my double hernia repair yesterday. I'm trying to stick with the minimum dose of oxycodone so I have some left over. Whoomp there it is.
