Road to recovery with Up and Running
I am happy to be on the road to recovery, especially in the capable hands of Up and Running, who have thrown me a "lifeline" many times.
Most people would not realise the extent of my injury or how serious it is or was, because i tend to paint a positive picture only talking about ties of progress or making gains, especially on social media, but times have been tough.
The recent MRI showed the damage, but it was only fully understood once the surgeon had carried out the arthroscopy last weekend.
The operation was a lot of work, repairing damage to the cartilage and both the patella and femur bones. Fortunately for me, it was done by the amazing Dr Ali Bajwa, an expert in the field for many years (it’s unbelievable how good my knee looks already considering all the work that was done).
The “construction” is now at an extremely delicate stage, something I need to nurture and be very patient with, the rehab and the rebuilding of movement and then strength is a very technical and gradual process - I am so happy to be doing this with Up and Running clinic in Dubai, where I feel confident that I am in capable hands (they have been instructed by Dr Ali to keep me on a tight leash)
Up and Running and Dr Anna have helped me tremendously (financially and general support) with my recent issues and my charity work, however I have been a customer there for many years. They have helped me prepare for my various challenges, including summiting Mount Everest more than 7 years ago and all of my world records since. They have always been able to fix any injuries or physical concerns quickly and, most important of all, they really get to know their customers and the individual needs or goals, working together to reach them. Honestly speaking I would not go anywhere else for my sports or even any general physical health needs.
Thank you again Up and Running.
