    Hi Star,

    Nice to see you again.

    It might be worth talking to a physio about building up muscles. If you over do it they will not only not let you but hurt for ages afterwards and its best to get some advice from them in the know.

    Good luck for your surgery and I so hope you get a break from the pain and impact on movement. Cris x

    What op on what bit? I am so sorry but I cannot remember what you were waiting for. You haven't got long anyway so it's probably best to talk to your GP or contact your surgeon. I wish you well. DD
